SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCSC) - A training history report from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy shows the former Summerville Police officer charged in the theft of guns from police evidence is also accused of taking cash.

The report, which describes former officer Wade Rollings' separation from the Summerville Police Department on Dec. 11, 2020, states Rollings admitted to stealing $7,493 in cash after being confronted about that amount of money which was found to be unaccounted for from the police evidence room.

The report states Rollings, 46, "openly admitted that he had stolen the money from the evidence locker and had modified the record in the system to reflect the money being released to one of the subjects involved in the case."

Rollings said he had already spent most of the money he had stolen and "had hastily borrowed money from friends the day before in order to replace the money," the report states. That admission led to him being charged with misconduct in office, the report states.
