I-Team: Woman falsely accused of stealing from commissioner speaks

Posted: Updated:

One of the women falsely accused of stealing a DeKalb County commissioner's wallet is speaking out to the FOX 5 I-Team.  The false accusation led to allegations of favoritism after police caught Commissioner Stan Watson drinking and driving, but made no arrest.
