"South Carolina Deputies Charged with Making Fake Calls About Dead Bodies"

Three South Carolina sheriff’s deputies have been charged with misconduct for allegedly making five hoax emergency calls about finding dead bodies while on duty. The officers, who are on leave pending the outcome of the investigation, were charged with misconduct in office, criminal conspiracy, and aggravated breach of peace. It's unclear what motivated the officers to make the fake calls, and they have been released on $30,000 bonds. The false calls triggered emergency responses from local law enforcement agencies, and the officers are cooperating with the State Law Enforcement Division's inquiry.
