COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Investigators in South Carolina are once again probing a solicitor’s office where a former prosecutor worked before being imprisoned for stealing about $44,000 in public funds.
State Law Enforcement Division spokesman Thom Berry on Monday confirmed to The Post and Courier that the agency is investigation allegations against a former Midlands’ Fifth Circuit Solicitor’s Office worker. He declined to provide further detail, citing the ongoing investigation.
Former Fifth Circuit Solicitor Dan Johnson was sentenced this summer to a year and a day in federal prison for wire fraud. He is blogging about what he’s calling his “redshirt year” in prison. The term is used in sports when a college athlete sits out for a season; it’s unclear if Johnson will be able to return to his field.
