A former DeKalb County Recorder’s Court employee is going to jail for 60 days and was ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution in a ticket-fixing scheme at the Decatur Court.

Adrian Andrews, a former Recorder’s Court deputy clerk, was one of three people who pled guilty Oct. 26 and were sentenced.

His accomplice, Marlene Findley of Stone Mountain was also sentenced under the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Probations employee Tanzie Sankey of Decatur was indicted for public record theft and giving a false statement.

The three are among a group of 11 facing 171 charges in the scheme in which 30 to 40 traffic tickets were fixed for cash, goods and favors.

Findley got five years to serve 30 days in jail and must pay $2,000 in restitution.

Sankey, charged under a separate indictment with two others, was sentenced five years to serve 60 days in jail, and must pay $1,000 in restitution.

The three will be on probation for period they do not spend behind bars. This is the second wave of sentence in the traffic-fixing scheme. In Septemeber two people were sentenced. The DeKalb DA says that $30,000 in restitution has been paid by the five defendants so far.
