CHARGES DROPPED AGAINST FORMER CHESNEE CHIEF

In a preliminary hearing before a Spartanburg County Magistrate Court Judge, charges against former Interim Chesnee police chief Jeff Kirby have been dismissed.

Kirby had been charged with professional misconduct for allegedly removing evidence from the police department and giving it back to a suspect.

While having the charges dropped by a magistrate Judge is a major step forward for Kirby, the attorney for Kirby stated that his client is still under investigation by the State Law Enforcement Division over the matter, due to the fact that Kirby is a former police officer.

Kirby was fired from his job as Interim Police Chief in Chesnee after allegations surfaced that he had removed evidence from the police department.
