A Walker County Jail lieutenant was arrested and charged with stealing traffic citation fines for more than three years, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Amy Bradley, 48, is charged with theft by conversion and theft by a fiduciary of over $500, said Natalie Ammons, deputy director of the Office of Public and Governmental Affairs for the GBI.
“The charges are related to the theft of traffic citations and citation fines between October 2018 and January 2022,” Ammons wrote in an email. “We were requested to investigate by the Walker County Sheriff’s Office on June 27, 2022.”
Theft by conversion is when someone lawfully obtains someone else’s money or property and unlawfully converts it to their own use, according to Georgia law.
Bradley was released on a $10,000 property bond less than an hour after her booking Thursday morning. No information on a court date for Bradley has been released.
