Two DeKalb County firefighters are out of a job following a determination that they had made false accusations against a Stone Mountain police officer during a traffic stop.

Captain Terrell Davis and Krystal Cathcart, falsely accused a Stone Mountain police officer of unprofessional conduct. The officer’s body cam proved otherwise.

Davis was fired and Cathcart resigned in lieu of termination. Dave Statter has been following this case from the beginning.
