Sheriff Chuck Wright – Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In July 2024, Sheriff Chuck Wright hired his son to work at the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office, leading to an investigation by the South Carolina Ethics Commission for a potential ethics violation. Former Lieutenant Jeremy Byrd, who raised concerns about this hiring decision, was subsequently fired and filed a lawsuit against Wright and the Sheriff’s Office, alleging wrongful discharge and defamation. Byrd claims he was terminated after expressing concerns over the hiring and was labeled a ‘mole’ by Wright.
