A Lieutenant with the Clovis Fire Department is facing changes after authorities say he stole items from the accident scene.

Christopher Elam, 32, of Clovis was charged Friday with one count of misdemeanor larceny. 

Elam is accused of taking a bottle containing an alcoholic beverage, a bottle containing a non-alcoholic beverage and a bottle of seasoning from vehicle at an accident scene.

The accident occurred along U.S. Highways 60/84, west of Melrose, back on May 1. 

Authorities say Elam was among the first responders on the accident scene when he stole the items.
