The DeKalb County Police Intelligence Unit arrested an employee of the police department for allegedly selling vehicle accident information.

Shirley Waters, a civilian employee in the Auto Theft Unit, was arrested Monday after a three-month investigation, according to police. She was charged with computer invasion of privacy, allegedly selling vehicle accident information to a third party, Reginald Earl Jenkins.
