Wayne Byrd – Darlington County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 2014, Sheriff Wayne Byrd admitted under oath to having an extramarital affair with a subordinate employee, Kristan Jeffords. The admission came during a civil lawsuit filed by former deputy James Hall, who alleged his termination was part of a cover-up of the affair. Byrd’s actions raised concerns about professional conduct and misuse of authority within the department.
