05/12/2006 - COLUMBIA, S.C. - A Marlboro County sheriff's deputy was arrested Thursday for misconduct in office, the State Law Enforcement Division.
George Tremaine McLeod, 33, of Bennettsville provided information to someone he knew to be involved in illegal drugs and helped that person hide from authorities, arrest warrants show.
That individual, who eventually became a criminal informant, gave McLeod money in exchange for information about drug-related law enforcement investigations, authorities said.
McLeod was being held Thursday in the Richland County jail.
