Circuit Court arraignment is scheduled next month for a former Caldwell County evidence officer accused of stealing evidence.

Brett O’Dell is free on $25,000 bond awaiting arraignment October 6 before Judge R. Brent Elliott. He faces two counts of stealing and two counts of possession of a controlled substance.

O’Dell is accused of stealing pills and cash from the Caldwell County Sheriff’s evidence vault. He appeared in court on Tuesday to waive his preliminary hearing.

Douglas Roberts is the special prosecutor in the case.
