ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say a man drove a stolen car to the Anderson County Sheriff's Office to demand the return of nearly $2,000 officers seized from him during a drug arrest last June.

Deputies say after they told 36-year-old Charles Chambers to leave Tuesday afternoon, an officer noticed he got into a car that matched the description of a ve- hicle stolen about three hours earlier.

Another officer pulled the man over and told him to stop the car. The officer says Chambers stuck a screwdriver in the ignition to shut it off because the vehicle's key switch had been removed.

Authorities say Chambers was charged with possession of a stolen automobile, driving under suspension and a tag violation.
