An East Point police officer was being held without bond Friday in
Fulton County Jail for allegedly providing information to a man wanted
in a string of bank robberies.

Officer Nicole Drane, 33, was arrested Thursday and charged with 18
felony counts, including multiple counts of hindering the apprehension
and punishment of a criminal, unauthorized disclosure of criminal
history, bribery and violating her oath of office.

Drane is accused of helping Malik Dillard, a suspect in 10 bank
robberies in Georgia and 12 other East Coast states, said Det. Cliff
Chandler, a spokesman for the East Point Police Department

After recently being apprehended by the FBI, Dillard allegedly told
investigators that he would call Drane after some of the robberies to
find out if police were looking for him.

FBI officials quickly alerted East Point police, who arrested Drane
after conducting their own investigation. Drane’s relationship to
Dillard remained unclear Friday afternoon, Chandler said.

East Point police have turned the matter over to the district attorney’s office.

“I think we’re pretty much done with [the case] on our end,” Chandler said.
