Mark Sanford has not decided who will serve as interim Agriculture Commissioner after Charles Sharpe, a Wagener resident, was suspended without pay on a 12 count federal indictment charging extortion money laundering and false statements. Sharpe pleaded innocent and was released on bond as investigators cite ties to the South Carolina Gamefowl Association and The Testing Facility, later The Carolina Club.
