An honored Lexington County deputy has been accused of a mistaken arrest.

Darren Wiseman was community service officer of the year in 2014 for working with Walmart in Red Bank to stop shoplifting.

Wiseman will be in court this month, accused in a civil lawsuit of arresting the wrong person.

It’s one of 2 lawsuits filed against Wiseman and the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department claiming that he lied about an arrest.

He is also accused of falsely charging a Richland County sheriff’s deputy with domestic violence.

Adam Myrick of the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department said Wiseman resigned in February in good standing but they do not comment on litigation.

In court filings, the department denied allegations against it, according to The State newspaper.

The department admits that Wiseman was acting in the course and scope of his employment, lawyers wrote.

Sabrina Jackson’s case began April 23, 2014, when Ivan Dennis of Red Bank Walmart saw a “black female” take items worth $50 and walk out without paying, the lawsuit said.

Dennis noted the make, model and license plate number of the vehicle.

This led Wiseman to a woman who told him her friend Sabrina Jackson was with her that day.

Wiseman showed the woman the screen shot of the alleged thief and she said she recognized her friend who was moving or had moved to Charlotte.

Wiseman found a Department of Motor Vehicle record for Sabrina Jackson with a photo and address to a home near Gaston.

The lawsuit claims this shows different women.

Robert Phillips, the plaintiff’s lawyer, said “Wiseman told the magistrate a lie.”

An arrest warrant was issued for the wrong Sabrina Jackson, the lawsuit claims.

Jackson turned herself in June 25, the complaint said, was cuffed, booked and left in a cell over 12 hours before a judge let her out.
