Agents of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Monday said they arrested a now-former law enforcement officer with the Ninety-Six Police Department in connection with stealing approximately $6,760 from the evidence room for his own personal use.
Charles Michael Waters, Jr, 29, was charged with breach of trust with fraudulent intent, along with misconduct in office.
The request for the SLED investigation was made by the Ninety-Six Police Department.
The warrant said Waters was an officer at the time he stole the money and admitted to stealing the money.
Waters was booked at the Greenwood County Detention Center.
The case will be prosecuted by the 8th Circuit Solicitor’s Office.
