  Water Authority worker charged in theft web posted September 29, 2008 EDGEFIELD – An employee of the Edgefield County Water and Sewer Authority has been arrested and charged after allegedly stealing almost $1,000 in new brass fittings and then selling them as scrap metal at an area recycling facility in Augusta, Georgia. Richmond County Sheriff’s Investigators were tipped to the sale of the new fittings when the employee wore his Edgefield County Water Authority uniform drawing the attention of the recycling company workers. Jerry Lee Dobbs, 43, of Mt. Canaan Drive, Trenton has been charged with petit larceny and was released on Thursday on bond. No trial date was available. Dobbs reportedly called in saying he would be late for work on Monday, September 8. A short time later he is said to have arrived at the Augusta Steel and Metal Company with the “new brass fittings” and sold them for $87.15. The value of the fittings was stated to be $996.36, just $3.64 short of a felony charge for the alleged theft. He was fired the following Wednesday, police reports state, after allegedly admitting to the theft to department officials. The fittings were returned to the water department on Waterworks Road in Edgefield the next day. ©
