When an officer crosses the line—and later, the lines of identity—the justice system faces questions it’s never seen before.

This true South Carolina case follows a female law enforcement officer charged with grand larceny after keeping a suspect’s revolver following an arrest. But the story doesn’t end there. After jumping bond and moving to Florida, the officer began gender transition and returned to face charges as a man—drawing national attention, even from a Late Show in New York City.

Ultimately convicted, this case became one of the first times the SC Department of Corrections had to make accommodations for a transgender inmate—raising unprecedented legal and ethical debates along the way.
