MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA - A grand jury has indicted a former Davie County sheriff's detective on 15 counts of embezzlement involving thefts from the evidence room in the sheriff's office.
Robert Trotter, 36, was indicted Monday. He's free on a $20,000 bond with a court hearing scheduled for Sept. 25.
Trotter is accused of stealing guns, cash and a diamond ring from the evidence room he oversaw for the sheriff's office, District Attorney Garry Frank said.
Trotter was the subject of the State Bureau of Investigation's third investigation into the sheriff's office in the past year.
Trotter, who had been with the sheriff's office since 1990, was fired June 16, two weeks after Sheriff Allen Whitaker had suspended him for what Whitaker had called "alleged criminal conduct."
