(Atlanta News First) — A DeKalb County police officer has been placed on administrative leave after being arrested on drug charges, the department said. Marius Tassy, 43, was arrested Tuesday and charged with unlawful practice of pharmacy and sale of dangerous drugs. “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.” Tassy joined the department in 2023. Copyright 2026 WANF. All rights reserved.
