Deputies Investigate Possible Employee Theft at East Butler Road Dollar General

Deputies were sent to the Dollar General on East Butler Road in Mauldin, South Carolina after a caller reported possible thefts involving an employee on Feb. 17, 2026. The incident was logged in a public Mauldin dispatch summary that records the initial call and the law enforcement response.

The public dispatch summary from Mauldin shows the entry originated on Feb. 17 and identifies the Dollar General location on East Butler Road as the incident site. The entry indicates deputies responded after a caller reported suspicious activity tied to an employee at that store, prompting officers to attend the scene.

The dispatch summary lists the response but does not include a name for the employee involved or a description of items allegedly taken. The record focuses on the caller's report and the deputies' arrival, without detailing any subsequent arrests, charges, or evidence recovered in the immediate entry.

Mauldin deputies are responsible for calls within the city limits, and this Feb. 17 dispatch is part of the municipality's public incident log. The entry provides a timestamped record of the caller's complaint and the dispatch of law enforcement resources to the East Butler Road Dollar General, but it stops short of further investigative findings in the public summary.

As of Feb. 23, 2026, the Feb. 17 dispatch summary remains the primary public record released about the incident. The summary documents the caller's report of possible employee-involved theft and the deputies' response, and it does not supply additional narrative or outcomes for that call.
