A local businessman charged Thursday night with five counts of simple larceny and impersonating an officer of the law has been released from the Williamsburg County Detention Center after posting a personal recognizance bond.
Robert M. Fleming of Manning was granted five $2,130 PR bonds for the larceny charges and one $5,000 PR bond for impersonating an officer.
According to reports obtained from the Greeleyville Police Department on Friday, Fleming and Richard Canady were stopped in a black Lincoln that was “parked on the wrong side of the roadway on C.E. Murray Boulevard removing a campaign sign that belongs to (Williamsburg County sheriff's candidate) Dudley Musier.”
Fleming was charged with impersonating a police officer after allegedly presenting an old S.C. Probation and Parole ID with the word agent on it. Fleming told police he was an agent in the early 1980s in Manning, after initially telling them he was a parole officer currently, according to reports.
