A former Statesboro Police captain resigned earlier this month amid an internal investigation regarding allegations he shared information with known drug dealers. The allegations against Thomas Williams, a 19-year veteran of the department, were initially turned over to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, but GBI officials said it was not a criminal case and handed the case back to Statesboro Police for further investigation, said Statesboro Public Safety Director Wendell Turner. In response to an open records request, he and Statesboro Police Major Scott Brunson released documents Thursday including statements by Williams admitting social interaction with a known drug offender.
