Georgia Democratic Official Arrested, Charged With Felony Theft

Georgia Power has accused a former Democratic candidate for Georgia’s Public Service Commission (PSC) of stealing trade secrets.

Patty Durand was arrested on Tuesday by Georgia Capitol Police and charged with felony theft, according to from Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB).

A hearing was held regarding “Georgia Power’s request to add two Plant Vogtles’ worth of new power, mostly for data centers,” the outlet said. The report also noted that Durand opposes the centers as well as potential rate hikes, and that she runs a watchdog group known as Georgia Utility Watch.

Video footage from the day of the hearing reportedly shows Durand, wearing a brown jacket, approaching a desk and picking up a booklet before setting it back down and walking to the other side of the room.

Moments later, the footage appears to show Durand taking another booklet from a different desk, placing it in her bag, and leaving the room.

In an August interview with GPB, Durand criticized what she described as a lack of transparency in Georgia Power’s agreements with data centers.
