Two Georgia police officers who were caught on video using a coin-flip app before deciding to arrest a speeding suspect during a traffic stop were fired Thursday, according to local reports.

Courtney Brown and Kristee Wilson, who both worked as officers for the Roswell Police Department, were given termination memos on Thursday after police officials found that they violated the department's policy, according to Fox 5 Atlanta reporter Jaclyn Schultz.

Both officers have the option to appeal their terminations. The Post was unable to reach them for comment late Thursday night.

The two officers had been on leave since officials became aware of the April incident, which was captured on Brown's body camera.

The charges against the speeding suspect, Sarah Webb, were dropped after the video's release.
