FIRST ON 3: Onslow deputy accepts job

ONLSOW COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — An Onslow County Sheriff’s deputy who resigned last week after an incident in North Charleston, SC, has accepted a new position with the department, according to news release.

Sheriff Ed Brown said he offered Culpepper a job in the county’s detention center after the incident. Culpepper initially said he did not want that job and tendered his resignation. Brown said the resignation was effective April 3.

Brown told WWAY earlier this week the offer was still on the table. In a news release, Brown said Culpepper this morning rescinded his resignation and agreed to accept the job as a deputy in the jail.
