A Macon police officer is behind bars charged with burglary. Officer Jackie Johnson, a 19 year veteran with the Macon Police Department was arrested Tuesday afternoon for stealing a washer and dryer from a vacant apartment in Wood Creek Apartments.
Macon Police Chief Mike Burns says this type of behavior is not acceptable. “Me and my command staff we're gonna have the utmost integrity in this department and an officer is normally held to a higher standard anyway and we're not gonna tolerate these type actions.”
Officer Johnson has been put on five days administrative leave pending termination. His brother…Elliot Johnson...was also arrested and charged in connection with the burglary.
