A Warrenville man was arrested for filing a false police report which stated Aiken County Sheriff's deputies stole money from him during a past arrest.
Randall Lee Rucker, 21, was arrested by S.C. State Law Enforcement Division and charged with filing a false report of a felony and filing a false police report of a misdemeanor on March 30.
Rucker reported during his disorderly conduct arrest on March 29, Aiken County deputies "unlawfully took $2,800 from him with the intent to permanently deprive him of the money," according to a SLED press release.
Rucker told deputies he was booked into the Aiken County detention center with $2,200 and claimed the other $2,800 was stolen, according to police.
On April 8, Rucker confessed and provided a written statement that he had lost $2,800 but did not know how he lost it, police said.
Rucker was booked and released to the Aiken County detention center where he remained Thursday afternoon, police said.
The case was investigated by SLED at the request of the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
