MONROE, N.C. — The Union County Sheriff’s Office says a city employee is responsible for stealing lumber from a local construction site.
The city of Monroe’s website lists Terry Faircloth as Lake Twitty’s lake inspector.
Faircloth has been charged with larceny from a construction site after deputies say he took lumber earlier this month from a home off Trull Hinson Road in Wingate.
The builder says the lumber was worth $2,000 and that Faircloth disabled the camera on the property.
He credits a neighbor for confronting him and taking a photo, which investigators used to make an arrest.
