Georgia Police Indicted For Protecting Drug Dealers
Handy to have cops on your side
Three men, all from different backgrounds, sat in their orange prison jumpsuits waiting to hear the words from federal court Judge Alan Baverman, that their bonds would be granted.
Baverman set conditions and gave each man a $10,000 bail.
The men are former DeKalb County Sheriff's Deputy Monyette McLaurin, current DeKalb County police Officer Dorian Williams, and a civilian Gregory Lee Harvey.
An indictment in federal court states that McLaurin and Harvey worked together to protect drug dealers during cocaine transactions. In return for their protection, the men were given thousands of dollars in payouts.

Only $10,000 bail? Still getting preferential treatment I see.
