ROCK HILL, S.C. — A South Carolina police officer has been fired and arrested after being accused of sexually assaulting children.
The State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) says 48-year-old Charles Eugene “Chuck” Price of Rock Hill is charged with three counts of criminal sexual conduct with a child dating back to 2007.
News outlets report Price had worked as an officer at Winthrop University until Saturday, when he was fired. None of the alleged incidents happened at the school.
Price was booked into jail and denied bail in an initial court hearing. It's unclear whether Price has a defense attorney to speak on his behalf.
