DECATUR, GA -- DeKalb Commissioner Sharon Barnes Sutton allegedly received several free memberships to a local YMCA at the same time she was negotiating a deal between the county and Wade Walker YMCA.

The free memberships, given to Sutton, her two sons and two staff members, were worth more than $25,000, according to Channel 2 Action News.

The chief marketing officer for the Metro Atlanta YMCA says the free memberships probably shouldn't have been given.
