Former sheriff Gunnells faces theft probe and bail hearing
Former sheriff Gunnells contends the charges are political after bail hearing at the Aiken County Detention Center. SLED says arrests were made in Charleston but stolen equipment valued at 100000 remains unfound. Investigators recovered two mowers last August and eight more at Gunnells' North Augusta used car business. Lavern P. Sweet is held in Charleston County Jail in connection with the thefts. Gunnells says he traded mowers for two vintage cars and was assured the trades were legal. He criticizes SLED for six months without charging him.
