Former S.C. Sheriff Chuck Wright Facing Federal Charges
Disgraced lawman, two alleged co-conspirators entering plea agreements with federal prosecutors…

Here I thought they were going to connect him to the Limestone U trafficking scandal along with other various underworld connections.
Well its up to a Federal Judge what his 20 years as sheriff means to a city that houses many victims from his leadership of spartanburgs heavy handed law enforcement that was drug fueled and corrupt. How many charges, fines, misdemeanors and felonies has he or his department bestowed on others that were unfair, biased, trumped up or completely not true?
He wasn’t exactly known for his empathy.
Yes he has connections, but what message will the Judge send the citizens of South Carolina during a climate that includes a governors race, SLEDs tactical cleanup of the state and basically the reorganization of South Carolina’s leadership?
Im not entirely fixated on this gentleman spending the rest of his life behind bars, factoring these are his first offenses, and the charges are typical bad behaviors for someone that has retained that type of power for so long. So it’ll be interesting to see what a Federal Judges opinion of this is during his hearing.
His role has been replaced by an interim with massive experience who has been grinding away at fixing the department and it will now be handed down to a gentleman who looks to have great potential as sheriff.
Trey Gowdy probably got him set up with some presidential pardons anyways. These are Federal charges, I dont see any state charges. So expect that after whatever sentence or fines he’ll be given, its probably why he accepted the plea as is. Its why he wanted to dodge that firearm charge, Trump pardons white collar crimes especially for ex sheriff’s like its no big deal.
No sense praying on this guys demise. Hes a citizen now. His house of cards has fallen.
The fact is these charges are just a drop in the bucket compared to all the criminal things this POS did with the power of the state over his decades in “law enforcement” to enhance his criminal career. The “Freedom Machine” needs to ensure the public “trusts” the “just-us” system by “prosecuting” these “bad apples” but at the same time covering all the other criminal conspiracies and those involved by omission.
The laundry list of crimes this POS was involved in and those who he worked with is vast and if actually revealed would shatter the illusion of the benevolent state and reveal the criminal cabal the state truly is.
Soon this will go down the memory hole and the sheep will again tell each other how much the farmer loves them.
Hmm, stealing money from innocent people to fund drugs, where have I seen that before?
There is no way that NO member of county council had NO idea that any of this mess was going on.
What needs to be done to investigate who else in government knew and covered it up?
Is there a way for obtain the name of the “unindicted conspirator” who got a benevolence fund check for drugs?
I hope the sentences are heavy – these crimes are a despicable breach of trust, without any signs of regret.
A Spartanburg Methodist College alum, Chuck Wright seems to represent values similar to SMC administrators. On
January 1st, 2024, while Wright was Sheriff, a SMC security officer shot and killed Victor Roblero on an empty campus. Approaching three years later, SMC has yet to share with the public who shot and killed Victor Roblero. A similar shooting death on campus in 2015 prompted SMC to seek officer cameras. SMC has yet to release footage of the 2024 incident.
No mention that Wright was a Republican I see…
I believe they need to open the case back up involving Todd Kolhepp, I think Kayla Brown is just as guilty as kolhepp is, there’s more to this than they let the public know, I also believe there are more victims buried on his property off of 101.
