Public commenter alleges SLED investigation of council member; council members dispute during meeting
Summary
During public comment at the June 22 Hampton County Council meeting, Linda Kelly alleged that a council member had been investigated by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED); Councilman Love called a point of order and Councilman Jinks responded on the floor.
During the public comment period at the June 22 meeting, Linda Kelly told the council that "there's still a councilman that's been investigated by SLED, doesn't agree and there are still citizens that doesn't trust him."
Councilman Marvin Love called a point of order following Ms. Kelly's remarks. Councilman Jordan Jinks responded, saying he had "been quiet, he's let her have her way and he's done," addressing the person referenced in the comment. The record does not show any formal response from the council establishing the facts of Ms. Kelly's allegation, nor does the transcript include a recorded defense or denial from the councilmember named.
The meeting minutes record the allegation and the subsequent point of order and response by councilmembers but show no formal investigation update or administrative action taken during the meeting.
