A one-time volunteer fire chief in the wiregrass finds himself in trouble with the law.

Chris Sellers was booked into the Geneva County Jail shortly after being indicted by a grand jury.

The 25-year-old former Coffee Springs fire chief is charged with use of office for personal gain.

Geneva County sheriff's officials say Sellers used fire department money for personal use.

Last year, after a contentious town council meeting, a new chief was appointed to replace Sellers.

The amount of fire department money allegedly misappropriated is more than several hundred dollars.

It seems to me the mayor of Coffee Springs is up to her same ole tricks. She removed him as fire chief so now this.

I know a person he removed off of the fire dept because he "heard" he had been arrested and then he done something illegal himself. How about calling the kettle black and cleaning up your own back door Chris.
