Prison officers charged with taking cow

State agents have a beef with two prison officers - they say the pair stole a cow from a prison farm.

Robert Kent Summersett, 58, of Rembert, and Carl Ray Watford Jr., 55, of Timmonsville, have been charged with larceny of livestock, according to warrants issued Tuesday by the State Law Enforcement Division.



The officers took the beef cow valued at less then $1,000 from a prison farm at the Wateree Correctional Institution in Sumter County, where they both work, according to the warrants.

Neither man has a prior criminal record in South Carolina, according to records maintained by SLED.
