Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker issued charges of larceny in a building Tuesday against sheriff’s deputy Saul Sepulveda.
A media release from the Sheriff’s Office states an investigation began after reports money was missing from a wallet in the lost-and-found at the Kent County Correctional Facility.
The investigation revealed a corrections officer had taken money and gift cards from the wallet, and the case was turned over to the Prosecutor's Office.
The release stated: this behavior will not be tolerated at the Kent County Sheriff's Office. The KCSO members remain dedicated to serving and protecting the residents of Kent County with integrity.
Larceny in a building is a felony, punishable by a maximum of 4 years and a $5,000 fine.
Sepulveda is set to be arraigned on the charges in court Monday in Grand Rapids.
