Former Fayette County Deputies Indicted

{Lexington, Kentucky}...Former Fayette County Sheriff's Deputies Chester Merle McDaniel and William Rowland Beers have been indicted. The two sergeants resigned earlier this year after an investigation found that 14 guns confiscated by the deputies were unaccounted for. The guns were supposed to have been booked into a property and evidence locker similar to a large bank vault. McDaniel is accused of taking six guns from two men in 2010, pawning two of the guns and keeping four at his home. Beers allegedly took eight guns this year, but returned them months later when the investigation began.
