Authorities on Sunday arrested a 35-year-old Athens woman on a felony extortion charge.
Christen Shannon Geier of Nacoochee Avenue allegedly tried to extort money from a manager of an Athens car dealership in June, Athens-Clarke County police said.
Geier had previously worked at the dealership on Atlanta Highway, but was fired about four years earlier, according to police.
A manager there contacted police on June 9 to report an alleged extortion attempt by Geier.
