An off-duty MARTA police officer and former Georgia Tech football standout died Saturday after a motorcycle crash outside a Fulton County funeral home, officials said.
Jesse Tarplin, 38, was an 11-year veteran of the MARTA police force. Fulton County police Lt. Scott McBride said Tarplin was escorting a funeral procession from the Murray Brothers Funeral Home — on Utoy Springs Road near Cascade Road — when he collided with a vehicle that was stopped for the procession.
