A Charleston police officer was arrested Tuesday after the S.C. Highway Patrol investigated a weekend incident in which a parked car was struck by a vehicle that left the scene.
Charles C. Missel is charged with first-offense driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident, said Sid Gaulden, press officer for the state Department of Public Safety.
Missel has been placed on administrative leave without pay pending the outcome of the charges, Charleston police public information officer Charles Francis said.
The Highway Patrol was asked to assist in the investigation of a wreck that took place in a parking lot late Saturday or early Sunday, Gaulden said.
"A parked car was hit and a second car left," Gaulden said. As a result of the patrol's investigation, Missel was charged.
