CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Federal authorities in South Carolina say two men face criminal charges in the theft of masks and other personal protective equipment during the early months of the coronavirus pandemic. The U.S. Attorney's Office in South Carolina released an indictment this week against 49-year-old Frank Smail and 58-year-old Mike Pellegrini. Prosecutors say they conspired to steal boxes of masks and rubber goggles from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in North Charleston. The Post and Courier reports the thefts happened when such items were in short supply nationwide. Smail has pleaded not guilty. Court records showed no plea from Pellegrini as of midday Wednesday.
