JONESBORO, Ga. -- A woman who is a social worker with DFCS was arrested in Jonesboro Saturday . Police suspect Ericka Thompson was driving under the influence of cocaine and marijuana.
At the time, police say, she was transporting an adult with mental disabilities to an area group home.
The incident happened at around 4 p.m. during a routine traffic stop. The officer who pulled over Thompson said his automated license reader showed her tag as expired. He reported smelling a strong odor of marijuana. A subsequent search uncovered a bag of marijuana along with cocaine and oxycontin.
11Alive's Duffie Dixon spoke with Jonesboro Police Chief Franklin Allen.
According to Allen, Thompson told them she was an ex-DFCS worker. However police noted an ID badge and key that suggested otherwise.
Chief Allen said police later confirmed that the woman in fact was a current DFCS worker out of the agency's Henry County office.
" I don't know what steps DFCS has in place for ongoing drug testing, but apparently they've got a lot of problems in house that they need to deal with," said Allen.
Allen also complained that when his department tried to reach DFCS for help dealing with Thompson's passenger, who was stranded after he arrest, no one ever called him back.
"That's the protocol. We call DFCS, but I couldn't get the Clayton County office or anyone from the state to call us back," said Allen.
Police finally found a manager at the group home to respond.
So far, there has been no comment from DFCS.
