Little country town.. Had a business in it for awhile. Crime city. Dope city. Mayor got arrested sent away. Town manager and his wife left ( with the citys blessing ) got arrested in georgia for kiddie porn and sent away forever.. Now this police officer I also knew. Don't go out after dark... Glad I sold the building there and got the heck away.
Former Police Officer Sentenced To 20 Years
FLORENCE, S.C. (AP) -- A former South Carolina police officer has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for drug trafficking and extortion.
U.S. Attorney Walt Wilkins said former Lake City Sgt. Shanita McKnight was sentenced in federal court Wednesday.
Prosecutors said McKnight was part of a drug ring in Lake City and used her position as a police officer to make people pay her. They also said McKnight tipped off drug dealers on when investigators would be in town.
McKnight was convicted in October after a five-day trial. A man serving time on drug charges testified that the officer let him smoke marijuana in and drive her patrol car.
McKnight had faced a possible sentence of life in prison and up to $8 million in fine

Yeah its all our fault that all politicians are crooked and the system is broken too. If ony we paid more taxes and gave up our rights given by the constitution none of this would be happening.
