SIOUX FALLS (AP) - Authorities are accusing a UPS worker in southeast South Dakota of stealing a package.
Police in Sioux Falls say officers found 31-year-old Derek Eugene Gross with a package in his pants. The package contained nearly $5,000 worth of precious metals.
Police spokesman Sam Clemens says Gross on Monday was sorting packages at a UPS facility when a company security investigator noticed an empty package near Gross's work station. Clemens says officers on Wednesday found Gross trying to hide the package in his pants.
Clemens adds Gross also had a loose pill in his pocket.
The Parker man has been charged with grand theft and possession of a controlled substance. It's unclear whether he has an attorney.
