A former Georgia State Patrol trooper is out of jail on bond following his arrest earlier this week for allegedly stealing while working a second job.
GBI spokesman John Bankhead said that the State Patrol last November requested an investigation into allegations that Trooper Anthony Webb stole cash from a night deposit box while working an approved second job providing security at a Georgia Power office in south Fulton County.
Following an investigation by the GBI and the State Patrol’s Special Investigations Division, a Fulton Superior Court judge last Friday issued warrants for Webb’s arrest, charging him with theft by taking and violation of oath by a public officer.
Webb turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail on Tuesday, and was released later that day on $10,000 bond.
A State Patrol spokesman told the AJC that Webb, who was a radio operator before graduating from trooper school in 2005, resigned from the department on Dec. 16.
