Questions remain after 2 unknown men enter Chesterfield County school, prompting security scare

CHERAW, S.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Some parents say they’re concerned after two men walked into Cheraw High School this week, prompting a security scare. Some tell Queen City News they’re alarmed by the incident and have several staffing and security questions.

Chesterfield County Schools Superintendent Chan Anderson shared on social media Friday that two men got into the building after asking to see a school counselor for enrollment purposes.

The post came after the Chesterfield County Sheriff wrote on social media asking for help identifying the two men. When contacted, a CCSO spokesperson referred all questions to the school district.

When asked about the social media post, the law enforcement official said it would be removed.

“This afternoon, two young men entered Cheraw High School requesting to register,” the district stated. “Opposed to going to register with the counselor, they walked around until they were questioned and then left the campus. These young men were not identified. There were no injuries or disruptions to the instructional day. We, along with the law enforcement, are still investigating this matter.”

In Friday’s social post, Superintendent Anderson explained the movements of the two men.

“They were granted access through the main door to go to the guidance office,” Anderson wrote. “Opposed to going to the guidance office, the young men walked to a hallway restroom.”

Superintendent Anderson assured parents that the men ‘did not roam the school.’

While the two men were in the bathroom, Superintendent Anderson said a school staff member entered the bathroom and escorted them to the front office without incident.

“The young men respectfully spoke with the principal and was directed off of the campus without incident,” Anderson said in the social media post. “The young men entered the restroom at approximately 11:57 a.m. and entered back into the main office at approximately 12:04 p.m.”

Superintendent Anderson affirmed that high school and district safety is a priority.

An ‘upsetting incident,’ some parents say

A concerned parent contacted Queen City News Friday to say the incident was upsetting. The parent, who wants to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation, said his child thought the two men roamed the school for hours before the school employee met them at the bathroom.

The parent, who also has a law enforcement background, acknowledged a connection to the Cheraw High School resource officer. The parent believed he thought the SRO was away from the school that day for a training event.

The district will have two meetings at the school cafeteria on Tuesday, Dec. 12, and Thursday, Dec. 14, to discuss the incident and any safety matters or solutions. The meetings will run from 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Those who cannot attend are encouraged to email Anderson directly at Superintendent@Chesterfieldschools.org.

The parent admitted the staffing issue concerns him and his daughter’s safety. The parent also told QCN his child saw a video on social media of the incident and is working to find it.

QCN reached out to the school district with additional questions. We’ll update this story when we have more information. According to the South Carolina Department of Education, Cheraw is one of five Chesterfield County high schools and lists 616 current students.

Two Chesterfield County men face decades behind bars after charged for stealing 17 cattle

CHESTERFIELD, S.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Frank Howey has been farming since he was 9 years old. He owns several properties under Howey Farms across two states.On any given day, he could probably be found with his son tending to the land and livestock in either Chesterfield or Union County.“We have several thousand (cows),” Howey said. ...

CHESTERFIELD, S.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Frank Howey has been farming since he was 9 years old. He owns several properties under Howey Farms across two states.

On any given day, he could probably be found with his son tending to the land and livestock in either Chesterfield or Union County.

“We have several thousand (cows),” Howey said.

He raises black Angus cows commercially. The breed is so popular that investigators say two Chesterfield County men stole 17 from Howey’s farm near Ruby.

The value of that cattle? $40,000.

Chesterfield County deputies say they got a tip from someone close to the suspects. That tipster said 29-year-old Jonathan “Kipp” Tyner and 30-year-old Richard Owensby were the rustlers.

“They actually used my facilities to catch the cows and then loaded them on onto a trailer,” Howey described. “They had borrowed from someone else and maybe another trailer that they already owned.”

Deputies arrested the men, charging them each with larceny and 17 felony counts of cattle rustling. Under state law, each count can lead to a 10-year sentence.

“The sheriff has been in law enforcement for 30-plus years,” Howey said. “He’s never seen a case of cattle rustling. And in the old days, you got hung.”

Howey says his specially bred cows sell for about $2,000 apiece. Deputies say the suspects had already sold a black Angus for $560 by the time they were caught.

“It’s not right to steal someone’s livelihood,” Howey said. “I hope they get the maximum sentence.”

Only 11 of the stolen 17 cows have been retrieved as of Thursday night, and four are still on the loose. He says something like this has never happened to him in all of his years of farming — but he thanks the community for stepping in to help him.

"We are confident that the issue has been resolved and there is no additional threat to the school, teachers, or students" Sheriff Cambo Streater said.

Chesterfield County towns unite to complete master plan

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY – Officials in Chesterfield County are combining forces on a comprehensive plan that will encompass almost all of the county’s municipalities.

The strategy is designed to streamline planning and consolidate costs, Chesterfield County Council member Mary Anderson said.

The idea was sparked as county officials began work to update its master plan, which happens about every 10 years. The Pee Dee Coalition of Governments, which Chesterfield officials are working with to complete the update, suggested the new approach because many towns in the county also had plans expiring soon, Anderson said.

With the new approach, the county and its municipalities will have one comprehensive plan, and participating towns will each have representatives on a single planning commission. Those that already have a commission will disband them.

The county will pay half of the cost of the plan, while the rest will be divided among the participating towns according to their population.

The project began this year, and at the end of May, the committee held its first meeting.

Greenwood County is one of a number of South Carolina counties that uses a single plan.

Carol Coleman, Greenwood County planning director, said it’s more economical because it eliminates duplicated services and provides rural areas with more resources and expertise.

Each jurisdiction appoints its own representative to the Joint Planning Commission of Greenwood County so that everyone has a seat at the table. When it comes to decisions that would affect one community in particular, Coleman said, she is deferential to the desires of the community and its representative on the commission.

“The benefit to me is that even if it’s a small local government, they’re not necessarily required to try and fund an office to do these things when we are capable of helping them do it. And I totally bow and answer to these local governments,” Coleman said.

Anderson said she hopes combining the plans and commissions in the county will improve communication and consolidate resources as the county tries to address persistent issues, such as failing infrastructure in rural areas.

Towns like Mt. Croghan or Ruby, the county’s smallest towns, don’t have comprehensive plans, and Anderson said the county will be able to provide them guidance they didn’t have before.

Towns like Cheraw, the county’s largest town, already have a comprehensive plan and a planning commission. But the town’s administrator, Mike Smith, said combining forces will still be beneficial. It will reduce costs and ease the burden of establishing a full planning commission in each municipality.

Smith said it’s becoming more difficult to find people who are willing to commit to the required training and regular meetings that planning commission members attend.

“I think it’ll be a positive, because you will now have more qualified professionals serving,” he said.

Smith said he isn’t worried that Cheraw will give up any control by eliminating its planning commission. He said he thinks the commission members will defer community-specific decisions to the representative from that community. Those decisions also are recommendations; town councils make the final call.

The only municipality in Chesterfield County to opt out of the project is Pageland. The town of about 2,500 people is the site of the area’s largest growth spurt. Officials predict the population could double by the end of the decade thanks to growth from Charlotte.

Shane Sligh, the town administrator, said the town updated its own comprehensive plan more recently than the county’s other municipalities, and it’s reluctant to give up its planning commission.

While the town will still have a representative on the commission, it won’t have a vote. Anderson said Pageland can still consider joining once its plan is up for renewal in a few years.

FLORENCE — Christmas remains the theme for many events around the Pee Dee this weekend.

Events range from Lunch with Santa at the Darlington Country Club at 11:30 a.m. Dec. 17 in Darlington to the City Center Farmers Market, which will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 16 at 200 Sanborn Street in Florence.

People interested in going to the farmers market should plan on using Darlington Street to access Sanborn Street because the Florence Christmas Parade will block off Evans Street.

So here are 3 Things to Do in the Pee Dee this weekend:

From oom-pah-pah to melody lines: TubaChristmas is celebrating its 50th year in 2023. Harvey Phillips conceived TubaChristmas in 1974 as a tribute to his teacher and mentor William J. Bell, who was born on Christmas Day 1902. TubaChristmas has become a worldwide celebration. Pee Dee TubaChristmas launched in 2017. The COVID-19 pandemic canceled 2020 and 2021 Pee Dee TubaChristmas plans, but it returned with 30 tuba and low-brass musicians performing traditional Christmas songs at the Magnolia Mall in 2022. Approximately 30 musicians will play Christmas songs at 2 p.m. Dec. 16 at Magnolia Mall in Florence. It’s a good opportunity to add a musical interlude to your Christmas shopping.

Christmas on parade: The Florence Christmas Parade starts at 11 a.m. Dec. 16 at the intersection of Sunset Drive and Evans Street. The parade route follows Evans Street to downtown Florence. The parade lineup is scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday. Evans Street, west of South Irby Street, will be closed during the parade lineup. The parade will feature high school bands, floats and, of course, Santa Claus. It will be a nice day to watch the parade with high temperatures in the low 60s.

Lace up your skates: You can skate into the holiday season at the Florence Center from Dec. 15-21. The rink will be open from 6-7:45 p.m. and 8-9:45 p.m. Dec. 15. The Dec. 16 hours are noon to 1:45 p.m., 2-3:45 p.m., 5-6:45 p.m. and 7-8:45 p.m. The Dec. 17 hours are 2-3:45 p.m., 5-6:45 p.m. and 7-8:45 p.m. Tickets are $12, which includes skate rental, and are sold at the door. Christmas songs will be played on the sound system to add more holiday spirit to the skating.

SUMTER — A German manufacturer of magnets used in electric vehicles is set to create 300 new jobs and invest over half a billion dollars.

Sumter will be home to the first U.S. facility for e-VAC Magnetics, which produces rare earth permanent magnets. CEO Erik Eschen and Gov. Henry McMaster made the announcement at a press conference Dec. 13.

The manufacturing plant will be placed on an 85-acre lot at Pocotaligo Industrial Park and is expected to be completed by fall 2025.

The announcement comes after the Department of Defense in September announced plans to expand domestic manufacturing of rare earth permanent magnets. The DOD plans included a $94.1 million award to e-VAC. The magnets, aside from being used in EVs, are used in the creation of military vehicles like the F-35 plane and unmanned aerial vehicles, according to a DOD press release.

It also comes a day after electric vehicle battery factory AESC announced it would expand its Florence facility, adding an additional 450 jobs to the already 1,170 announced in December of last year, and joins the incoming Scout Motors plant in Blythewood as state officials continue to turn their focus on expanding the state’s capabilities when it comes to EVs.

“The automobile industry is really important to the state of South Carolina,” said state Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey. “It’s our largest manufacturing sector. It’s critically important that they make a pivot from internal combustion engines to the battery electric vehicles.”
