Tony Chavis – Darlington County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Former Sheriff Tony Chavis faced a wrongful termination and discrimination lawsuit filed in May 2020 by former deputy Darrin Yarborough. The lawsuit alleged that Yarborough was terminated without cause immediately after announcing his candidacy for Florence County sheriff, suggesting political retaliation. The case was dismissed in August 2021, pending a settlement between the parties.
