DeKalb sheriff donates to rape crisis center

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department recently donated money from its confiscated drug account to the county’s rape crisis center.

The $10,000 gift will go toward programs that help the victims of rape and sexual assault. The center made several deep cuts to staff and programs due to budget challenges last fall.
