The central human resources office of DFCS made the decision and it was executed last Wednesday.
“I’m thankful this chapter is over and the focus of the agency can be directed to the professional service to its clients," said DFCS board chairman Edd Sanders.
Griggers, who was the social services supervisor, was suspended with pay in December while an internal investigation was conducted. She was in charge of supervised child protective services and foster care workers.
Griggers had been arrested for criminal damage to property, second degree simple battery and disorderly conduct after an incident in which she became violent toward another DFCS employee, Renee Moore. The altercation occurred at Moore's sister's house in Griffin where Griggers allegedly cursed at officers, telling them she would sling blood wherever she wanted in the home. Deputy K. Haywood said when he arrived at the home, there was blood on the outside storm door, living room wall, fan, love seat and dining room floor.

Can't we research the people a little better who are working with precious children?
