Second DeKalb officer accused of stealing from Hispanics

DECATUR - A second DeKalb County police officer has been accused of stealing money from Hispanic drivers during traffic stops. <br> <br> Officer Roddrick E. Armstrong, 30, a three-year veteran of the department, was charged Thursday with theft by taking and violating his oath of office. <br> <br> Officer Michael Antonio Williams, also 30, was arrested Wednesday on the same charges. <br> <br> If convicted of the second charge, Williams and Armstrong could be sentenced to 20 years in prison. <br> <br> The arrests come at an awkward time for DeKalb law enforcement authorities, who are already investigating another officer who shot and killed a 19-year-old Hispanic man outside a Cinco de Mayo celebration earlier this month.
