Officer Candyce is accused of threatening 2 people. Officer Candyce played women&#8217;s basketball for High Point University in the early 2000&#8217;s. &nbsp; <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charlottealertsnews.com\/.image\/c_fit,h_600,w_600\/MTkwOTE5MjI3MjMyNzU3MzMz\/1untitkled.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>On July 13, 2022, officers responded to a 911 call regarding a victim being threatened with bodily harm, allegedly by a known suspect. During the investigation, officers learned of a second victim who also reported being threatened with bodily harm. <\/p>\n<p>The suspect was identified as Officer Candyce Sellars. A patrol supervisor responded to the scene and immediately notified the CMPD Internal Affairs Division, who then began an internal investigation. <\/p>\n<p>Detectives presented this case to a Mecklenburg County Magistrate, who in lieu of a summons, issued two warrants on two counts of communicating threats for the arrest of Officer Candyce. <\/p>\n<p>Officer Candyce turned herself in to the Mecklenburg County Detention Center and was arrested, charged with 2 counts of communicating threats.<\/p>\n<p>Officer Candyce has been employed with the police department since April 2015 and was assigned to the Community Services Division as a school resource officer. Officer Candyce has been placed on administrative assignment pending the outcome of the Internal Affairs Division investigation.<\/p>\n<p>  Chief of Police Johnny Jennings said:<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It is always disheartening to me when I learn that one of our officers has violated the very laws that we are sworn to uphold. Professional accountability is a priority for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, and our officers are expected to maintain this standard at all times.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In jail, Officer Candyce was likely placed in protective custody since she is a cop. Cops in jail with the very inmates that they arrest don&#8217;t mix well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A CMPD cop was arrested and took a mugshot like everyone else, now she knows how it feels to be arrested<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[119,299,61,62,208,159,161,296],"class_list":["post-7620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-arrest","tag-cops-scared","tag-domestic-disturbance","tag-domestic-violence","tag-jail","tag-jail-yard","tag-police","tag-police-officer-arrested"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tender-hodgkin.62-151-180-206.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tender-hodgkin.62-151-180-206.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tender-hodgkin.62-151-180-206.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tender-hodgkin.62-151-180-206.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tender-hodgkin.62-151-180-206.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tender-hodgkin.62-151-180-206.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7620\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tender-hodgkin.62-151-180-206.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tender-hodgkin.62-151-180-206.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tender-hodgkin.62-151-180-206.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
