Two deputies with the Montgomery County Precinct 1 Constable's Office are accused of stealing gasoline from a county facility earlier this year.

Former Deputies William Anthony Guy, 54, and James Walter Manning III, 27, each face a Class B misdemeanor theft charge for allegedly stealing less than $100 worth of gasoline from the Constable's Office, according to indictments handed down Tuesday. The theft charge normally would be a Class C misdemeanor, punishable only by a fine, but prosecutors claim Guy and Manning stole the gasoline "by virtue of their position" as deputies, enhancing the charge.
