An upstate police officer has been arrested for illegally accessing a law enforcement database. SLED agents arrested 30 year old, Timothy Wayne Williams Jr. of Pacolet and charged him with Misconduct in Office.
Williams is alleged to have obtained information on a suspect from an SC DMV database while that suspect was under investigation by the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, which requested the investigation. The Pacolet police officer was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center.
This coming just a week after Pacolet's police chief along with a lieutenant, half a dozen officers and the department's clerk resigned over a conflict with town hall.
