DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - Former DeKalb County Commissioner Sharon Barnes Sutton has been arrested by the FBI, Channel 2's Mark Winne has learned.

Channel 2's Aaron Diamant received the three-count indictment where it showed Sutton was charged with bribery and two counts of extortion.

The charges stem from her involvement in a $10 million contract the DeKalb Board of Commissioners awarded to Tetra Tech in 2013 to manage the expansion of the Snapfinger Water Treatment Plant.

Prosecutors say Sutton solicited a series of bribes, as high as a $1,000 a month from a subcontractor on that project.

A politically well-connected source tells me this arrest is because of the work of B.J. Pak, Trump’s U.S. Attorney for Georgia. Earlier in his career as an assistant U.S. Attorney he had been part of those who successfully prosecuted former Atlanta mayor Bill Campbell.

Same source tells me there are 4-6 others in DeKalb government about to go down in this same effort.

Why do black women like double-barreled surnames?

I am merely curious. Where did that fashion come from?

I tried not to but just couldn’t help clicking to see if, well, you know what. And of course, no man-bites-dog today.

Meanwhile, the state of NY is awash in corruption, and nary a Feeb in sight.

Former DeKalb Commissioner Arrested By FBI For Allegedly Demanding Bribe From Contractor

They arrested her because she's a Black female in a White man's world.

Wouldn’t it be so neat if she turned out to be bosom buddies with Stacey Abrams?

Nothing new for DeKalb...

In 2000, blood was shed in a shocking act of political corruption.

Derwin Brown, who’d just defeated Sheriff Sidney Dorsey for DeKalb County’s top law enforcement position, was followed to the driveway of his home. Voters had elected Brown largely on his promise to clean up corruption and kickbacks that had troubled the office for decades. He was just days away from taking office to begin fulfilling that pledge.

Trouble was, outgoing Sheriff Dorsey was afraid of said investigation. He wanted to stop it.

Brown, a veteran of more than 20 years in DeKalb policing, was ambushed when he arrived home from a party on Dec. 15, 2000. He took at least 10 bullets and fell to the ground clutching roses he’d brought for his wife. It was her birthday.

Probably contributed some of that bribe money to Abrams campaign. Thought she’d be covered with her in office. Remind you of any other Dumbocrat shenanigans?

Its a start....Was it a 4 am no knock warrant with 40 SWAT ready agents busting down the door? That would be the norm for a republican suspect.
