DeKalb County Sheriff Jeffrey Mann pleaded guilty Thursday afternoon to violating two Atlanta city ordinances after city solicitors agreed to drop a pending public indecency charge.
The DeKalb sheriff pleaded guilty to engaging in prohibited conduct in a public park in violation of park hours. He also pleaded guilty to obstructing a police officer. As part of his plea deal, Mann was given a 180-day sentence on both violations that would be suspended as soon as he paid fines totaling $2,000. Mann’s attorney, Noah Pines, told the court Mann was prepared to pay the fines in full immediately. Municipal Court Judge Crystal Gaines also sentenced Mann to serve 80 hours of community service for both violations and banished him for the duration of his sentence from Atlanta’s public parks.
