SANTEE, SOUTH CAROLINA – Authorities say the Santee Chief of Police was arrested by SLED agents on Monday
and charged with Misconduct in Office.
Police Chief Robert Williams, 52, was arrested at approximately 2:30 p.m. and was booked at the Orangeburg County Detention Center.
News19 inquired about the arrest at the Santee Police Department, but an officer there said he was unaware that Chief Williams had been arrested.
The Misconduct in Office charge refers to Williams allegedly using public funds for his own personal use. The Santee Clerk of Court has been charged with the same thing.
Santee Mayor Silas Seabrooks declined comment on the incident, other than to say Williams has been Chief of Police for more than 10 years.
The Santee Clerk of Court, Fredya M. Bruce, 36, was arrested Monday at 12:45 p.m. and was also booked into the Orangeburg County Detention Center.
Both arrests are a result of an investigation conducted by SLED at the request of the Town of Santee. The case will be prosecuted by the 1st Circuit Solicitor’s Office.
