The charges stem from a Feb. 28 incident at the school, located at 168 Prep St. in Orangeburg, according to arrest warrants. Investigators allege Crummie entered the school during nighttime hours with the intent to commit a crime and was captured on surveillance video.
“It’s one thing to steal from adults,” Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said, “but this is stealing from children.”
In a grand larceny warrant, investigators allege Crummie took two Lenovo ThinkPads and $100 in cash — about $2,100 total — from the school without permission.
“We appreciate the assistance of the community and also the U.S. Marshals for the help in apprehending this individual,” Ravenell said.
During a hearing on Friday, bond was denied for Crummie.
