South Carolina lawmakers are again introducing legislation to legalize marijuana for treatment of critically ill patients in the state.

Beaufort Republican Tom Davis tells The Associated Press he plans to file the Compassionate Care Act on Tuesday. Republican House Rep. Peter McCoy is sponsoring similar legislation in the House.

Davis tried last year to get approval for the measure, which drew opposition from the law enforcement community. State Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel testified about his concerns that legalizing marijuana in any form could create a “black market” for resale and potential abuse.

Davis says his measure is a “socially conservative” proposal that helps patients but also includes stiff penalties for recreational use.

Deputies identify couple wanted for shoplifting $3k worth of jewelry from Lowcountry Walmart

ORANGEBURG COUNTY, SC (WCSC) – Investigators have identified two people wanted for shoplifting $3,000 worth of jewelry from a Walmart in the Lowcountry.

Orangeburg County deputies are looking for 36-year-old Jennifer Schwartz Parker (AKA Jennifer Schwartz) of Ladson and 35-year-old Floyd Wesley Craven of Erhardt.

If you have any information on their whereabouts you are asked to call the sheriff’s office at (803) 534-3550 or Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

“This pair were caught on security video entering the Orangeburg Walmart the day after Christmas, then taking jewelry from a case,” said Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell. “After a thorough investigation, these two have been identified as a pair from the Lowcountry.”

OCSO officials said around 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 26, 2018 the couple entered the North Road Store on the grocery side of the business.

A report states video surveillance showed the couple in the jewelry area of the store where the man forced open a display and was seen placing items into the woman’s purse.

“After an initial press release, multiple tips began arriving from the public, Crimestoppers, and even a Charleston-area media outlet,” OCSO officials said.”Several photos were sent to the OCSO as well.”

 

Agencies around the Lowcountry are investigating similar incidents, according to the sheriff’s office.
