A former police officer from the Upstate has been arrested for misconduct in office. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division says they arrested 42 year old former Pacolet Police Officer , Benjamin Perry Levi on Wednesday.
Levi is charged with Misconduct In Office and 3rd degree Assault & Battery. Those charges stem from an incident in August of 2020, while he was on duty for the Pacolet PD. The arrest warrants say Levi tackled a minor during the incident causing bruises and scratches. The SLED investigation was launched at the request of the Pacolet Police Department.
