KEY WEST, FLA. (WSVN) - A Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputy has been charged with misdemeanor theft after, authorities said, he stole a boater’s seafood haul.
MCSO Sgt. Scott Ward is accused of taking six spiny lobsters from a boater he had stopped off the Upper Keys sometime last year.
Investigators said other deputies turned him in. The department on Thursday issued a summons for Ward to appear in court.
He currently faces an internal investigation that will determine his fate with the department.
