Deputy investigates complaint on Singing Pines Road

A deputy ordered a man near Seneca this week to drop the gun he carried, and that started an investigation which led to multiple charges.  The Oconee Sheriff’s Office identified William Eugene Franks Jr. as charged with Pointing and Presenting Firearms at a Person, First Degree Burglary, Petit Larceny and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon.  In a separate incident, 43-year old Franks was charged with Malicious Injury to Personal Property April 12th at the same Singing Pines Road address where the firearm was taken.
