Clayton Schools security chief facing bribery charge

The man tasked with ensuring the safety of more than 50,000 Clayton County school students is still on the job, despite facing allegations that he attempted to bribe a judge last year, a school system spokesman has said.

John Taylor Walker, Jr., the district's director of investigations and student engagement, was indicted on Oct. 20, on a felony charge of bribery. He allegedly attempted to bribe a Clayton County Magistrate Court judge, according to a copy of the indictment. The document shows that he was allegedly trying to influence her decision on the selection of a vendor that would work Clayton County's Superior, State and Magistrate courts.
