DEKALB COUNTY, GA— DeKalb County Police has arrested one of its own police officers during a criminal drug investigation.
Officer Marius Tassy, 43, was arrested on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and taken to the DeKalb County Jail on a felony charge of Unlawful Practice of Pharmacy (GA Code § 26-4-40) and a misdemeanor charge of Sale of Dangerous Drugs (GA Code § 16-13-72).
Tassy is on administrative leave pending further investigation. He was hired by the DeKalb County Police Department on May 1, 2023.
DeKalb County Police launched the investigation in late October.
“The authority we are entrusted with as law enforcement officers comes with an expectation of integrity, honesty, and accountability. When an officer violates that trust, it undermines the credibility of our entire profession,” said DeKalb County Police Chief Greg Padrick. “We will not tolerate criminal conduct within the DeKalb County Police Department, and we will never hesitate to investigate and hold our own accountable. Our commitment to the public is greater than our loyalty to any individual officer.”
The DeKalb County Police Department said it has no further comment regarding this ongoing criminal investigation.
