‘Off the Damn Edge’: Chuck Wright Lied to Federal Authorities, Sources Say
From oxycodone to Candy Crush, deputies say Spartanburg County’s “constitutional sheriff” leaves behind a legacy mired in allegations of substance abuse and public corruption — with mounting interest in when he will face criminal charges.

Talk to locals. Watson, his cousin was into much mischief in Reidville. Possibly selling contaminated fill he hauled from BMW and stored on his property where his x wife lives over the years. He intimidated us several times using his black patrol car. Video available. Chumley is part of that GOB group. Rob Chumley his son is as well. See what happened in Reidville several years ago. People here have tons of stories to tell.
Keep digging. We must be careful they took us to court to close our business. We later sued Watson and won. Everyone know about LB, Chumley’s and wright.
Good job, Fancher. Well researched and written.
Good article but Gamecock colors are garnet and black not maroon
Great article Fancher. You’re getting more polished in your craft.
LOL!
Hey Chuckie I doubt they will let you play Candy Crush in the joint on the tablet they give you. That’s even if you get one. LOL
I bet this is one of the dirty cops that was working for them that’s why you won’t post with your name being attached to it. Y’all can’t do nothing to put anyone in jail if a person don’t do anything. LOL y’all tried that with me to LMFAO
Let’s not forget that Gowdy supported wright from day one and continues to represent him now.
Thank God I’m not kin to Chucky. I’ve waited since 2013 for these days
You need to get in contact with me police officers helped Mike Reece with putting a hit out on me and my brother he ended up getting killed and they made it look like an accident they also tried to kill me multiple times if you want a real story of corruption talk to me ASAP
I’m nosey, I would love to hear more. This is all insane. I do not feel safe anymore.
It is good to keep these stories alive, this is all about checks and balances.
It sounded like Spartanburg was doing whatever they wanted and doing whatever they wanted to others. A nice healthy dose of reality and federal investigations can be a good thing.
Excellent reporting.
I hope for some follow ups on why County Council isn’t demanding repayment from Wright for the personal charges on the county credit card that apparently no one was auditing, and who was in bed (figuratively) with Wright. The money spent was enough to pay for a deputy for a year.
What is the interim sheriff doing to ferret out dirty cops?
Also, why is Councilman Mo Aubsaft jumping in front of the cameras and trying to be accusatory and apologetic at the same time? It seems odd that around the time Chuck Wright announced a “leave of absence”, Mo Abusaft was arrested and charged for third -degree assault and battery, so an incident that allegedly occurred months prior.
