CLINTON, S.C. -June 21 2012A Clinton Public Safety officer has been arrested, accused of stealing pills from storage.
Clarence Donald Lewis III, 36, of Greenwood has been charged with misconduct in office and theft of a controlled substance.
State investigators say while on duty, he took more than 100 Hydrocodone tablets from the inmate medication storage area at the Clinton Public Safety Department.
Public safety noticed the drug logs weren’t correct at the jail around the end of May, when they started an investigation which was handed over to SLED.
Lewis was suspended on the 15th and then terminated on the 18th. He had been with the department for around two and a half years.
The City of Clinton Department of Public Safety issued the following statement Wednesday afternoon.
"The Clinton Department of Public Safety takes pride in keeping the citizens of Clinton safe and secure. It is disappointing to say the least that one of our fellow officers crossed the line and violated the law. Mr. Lewis is being held accountable for his actions and held to the same standards as others in the community."
Lewis was released on a $5,000 bond.
