Atlanta police confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that Minor was one of their officers. He resigned on Wednesday following his arrest, effective immediately.
He was an officer with APD since July 2018. APD officials say that at the time of his arrest, he was on unpaid leave after being arrested in Milton in December 2023.
Police said Minor has not had his service weapon since his December arrest.
According to Fulton County Jail records, Minor was arrested on Christmas Day on drug charges. He was charged with purchase or possession of a controlled substance and drugs not in the original container.
