EUTAWVILLE, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina police chief who abruptly resigned for “personal” reasons is now charged with misconduct in office and grand larceny.
The Times & Democrat reports the charges against former Eutawville police Chief Steven Daniel Holloway were filed after a monthslong investigation by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. Arrest warrants say the 37-year-old Santee man stole $4,606 in seized cash between December 2017 and August 2018, while he was the town’s police chief.
The newspaper says the state probe began immediately after Holloway resigned on Aug. 13. A separation document between the town and Holloway says he resigned after being confronted. It also accuses him of exchanging seized weapons with a local gun store.
Holloway was released on his own recognizance Tuesday. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.
