SUMMERVILLE, S.C. — A former South Carolina police officer has been sentenced to prison time followed by probation after an investigation found he took money and weapons from the department's evidence room. According to a statement from the 14th Circuit Solicitor's Office , 47-year-old Wade Franklin Rollings was an evidence custodian with the Summerville Police Department in December 2020 when he reported that $7,439 was missing from the evidence safe. An investigation later found that he was actually the one who took the money, entering false information into case management to make it appear as though someone else, an employee had authorized the release of funds.
