The Federal Bureau of Investigation searched a house in South Carolina as a part of an “ongoing criminal civil rights investigation involving allegations of racial discrimination” on Wednesday.
The search comes shortly after two residents of Horry County, Alexis Paige Hartnett and Worden Evander Butler, were charged with harassment for allegedly setting up a cross facing a Black neighbor’s home on Corbett Drive and setting it on fire in late November, according to incident reports reviewed by CBS News.
Butler and Hartnett, who are both White, were outside the home as it was searched, CBS News affiliate WBTW reported. Hartnett was heard threatening to kill everyone at the scene, including law enforcement and media, WBTW said, and Butler kept his hands in the air in an effort to keep a photographer from recording or taking pictures of him.
In addition to the alleged cross-burning, Hartnett and Butler had “harassed and stalked” the neighbors “with racially motivated words and actions,” according to the incident report. The day before the alleged cross burning, Butler entered the neighbor’s property without permission and tried to interrupt work being done on the neighbor’s home before shouting racial slurs.
I stand by my stance that Sherman didn’t burn nearly enough during his campaign to the sea.
I love that these dipshits were making threats while the police were present. Its nice when the trash helps take itself out.
Indeed. I’ve always been of the mind that he should have stopped at the sea, turned around, and went right back the other way zig zaging his way south.
I think he should have tried sawing off SC and letting it sink into the ocean Looney Tunes style.
Just look at Atlanta and Savannah compared to the rest of the south, burning things works eventually
I had a great time in Savannah, really awesome place.
If you can’t have a good time in Savannah you don’t know how to have fun
In a second incident report, officers noted that Hartnett was screaming at officers “believing they shouldn’t be on the property” and observed that Butler had hand-dug a moat around the property.
It would not surprise me at all to find out they were planning to put gators in that moat.
I find it equally likely that one of them dropped a bag of meth in the yard and the moat was just them digging around for it.
Is that desert camo? I wasn’t aware of any desertification in South Carolina. Wow, global warming’s a real bitch. 🥹
That’s OCP
I thought that was a RoboCop reference.
The FBI left ED-209 back at the office for this particular raid.
Jokes on you because I’m 100% certain that these guys would be deserters
Looks green to me in the article. I think the sun is just on it making it look much lighter.
