CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A DeKalb County woman is still in jail after a local sheriff had her arrested for sending him emails of R&B love songs.
Tonieka Brown, 45, has been locked up in the Clayton County Jail since Friday.
Her neighbors told Channel 2’s Tom Jones they couldn't believe why she is behind bars.
"I think that's just crazy. She didn't have to send him that many, did she?" Nate Johnson said.
People who live near Brown were surprised that Clayton County sheriff's deputies came all the way to Stone Mountain on Friday to arrest their neighbor.
"I did see her get arrested," one man said.
"They walked her to the car. It was peaceful. It wasn't loud. It wasn't no commotion or nothing like that," another neighbor said.
