. An additional charge has been filed against two Gaffney men who deputies had previously arrested for burglarizing a Vend-A-Moo milk vending machine on Old Post Road in Gaffney.

Detective Lt. David Clary of the Gaffney Police Department has charged Dennis Reginald Fowler Jr., 34, of 109 Cedar St., and Timothy Wayne Whisenant, 21, of 555 Robbs School Road, with grand larceny.

Sheriff's deputies recovered a stolen newspaper box from Fowler's home recently while conducting a investigation into a separate incident, the report states. The box

belongs to the Cherokee Chronicle and was taken from 309 E. Frederick St., Gaffney, police said.

The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office arrested Fowler and Whisenant on Friday, Nov. 17, and charged them with 3rd-degree burglary, malicious damage greater than $1,000 and petty larceny. Sheriff's deputies have accused them of removing $80 and causing $5,000 in damage to a Vend-A-Moo, which is owned by Harvey Peeler's Farm Inc. of Gaffney.
