Ridge Spring officer reassigned over arrest eligibility dispute
Ridge Spring officials reassigned Officer G. M. Carson after his arrest powers were challenged. Mayor David Sawyer said a 1978 attorney general opinion was used but could not be relied on. Carson, 20, will turn 21 in April and attend the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy. Solicitor Don Myers noted age affects certification but cautioned against weak defense grounds. The Robinson gas quote case remains on the docket with possible challenges over Carson's age.
