Chester, SC

A federal grand jury has indicted Chester County Sheriff Alex Underwood, his chief deputy and a lieutenant, alleging they falsified police reports and made false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
Underwood was suspended from office by South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster less than an hour after the indictments were made public Tuesday evening.
The indictments say Underwood, Chief Deputy Robert Sprouse and Lt. Johnny Neal were involved in November 2018 in a conspiracy to cover up an unlawful arrest and excessive use of force involving a man in Fort Lawn.
The man, who the indictment says was illegally jailed for three nights and had records falsified about him, was not identified in a written release from U.S. Attorney Sherri Lydon.
