A Lee County Sheriff deputy accused of stealing car parts at an auto mall last month has been fired.
William Edwards, 23, was terminated from his post Tuesday, according to the sheriff’s legal advisor, Barry Hillmyer.
Edwards was arrested Jan. 25 on charges of burglary, possession of burglary tools and larceny. Fort Myers police reported Edwards was caught, alongside another man, taking lug nuts off cars at O’Brien Auto Mall on Colonial Boulevard in Fort Myers.
Hillmyer said Edwards has until Feb. 26 to appeal his termination.
Edwards has entered a not guilty plea to the charges, and is scheduled for arraignment on Feb. 23.
