Fulton Deputy Dismissed Following Investigation of Alleged Misconduct
 

A Fulton County Deputy was relieved of duty last Thursday, following an internal investigation of inappropriate conduct involving his sworn duties as a peace officer. Deputy Melvin Clark, 44, of Lithia Springs was placed under investigation earlier this month following complaints of an alleged relationship with a female inmate at the county jail. Deputy Clark was later terminated for violating his oath of office and fraternizing with known criminals. The case is now being referred to the Fulton County District Attorneys Office for further review. Deputy Clark has been employed by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office since March 28, 2001.
