Orangeburg County deputies say one of their officers has resigned following his arrest on charges of driving under the influence.
The department said Monday that Robert Ayers had voluntarily left the agency. Previous Coverage: Orangeburg County Deputy Charged with DUI
Last Wednesday at about 10 p.m., state troopers found Ayers and his vehicle in a ditch next to Cattle Creek Road. Officers concluded that he had driven off the road, and found probable cause to charge him with DUI.
Ayers was driving his patrol vehicle, but was off-duty at the time of the incident.
In a statement Monday, Orangeburg County Sheriff Larry Williams said Ayers used poor judgment. He says the policy of the department is that officers are not allowed to use their patrol vehicles for personal use.
Ayers had been with the department for three years, and was the 2009 Field Services Top Cop.
