Lexington Ring: The Buzz Is Back

This website has written extensively about the “Lexington Ring,” a cabal of corrupt cops and crooked elected officials who have allegedly been running a video poker ring based out of Lexington County, S.C. for several years.

For those of you unfamiliar with state law, video poker is illegal in South Carolina – part of the Palmetto State’s efforts to maintain an anti-competitive monopoly on all forms of gambling. We oppose that monopoly, and support expanded private sector gaming. We do not, however, support powerful politicians and police officers profiting off of illegal gambling at they same time they are cracking down on it against others.

This case has ebbed and flowed for nearly a year now, with many wondering whether the ring and its powerful leaders would ever be brought to justice. Indictments in the case were said to be “imminent” five months ago, but nothing materialized. Meanwhile three months ago a statewide grand jury was said to have received a report from the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) regarding the ring.

Once again, though, nothing happened.

Now the buzz is officially back …

JAMES METTS
JAMES METTS

“(Sixteen) indictments true billed,” one source close to the investigation tells FITS. “Should be forthcoming this week (coming up).”

The source specifically mentioned Lexington County (S.C.) Sheriff Jimmy Metts and the “whole crew” as being among the list of those to be indicted – although there was no recapitulation of the names associated with this “whole crew.”

This isn’t the only indictment-related buzz we’ve heard about Metts this week. A pair of state lawmakers told FITS this week the sheriff informed them recently that the “FBI was coming to get him next week.”

A third lawmaker tells FITS that a local television reporter – presumably Jody Barr of WIS TV 10 (NBC – Columbia, S.C.) – is telling legislators that indictments are coming next week, citing a source in the S.C. Attorney General’s office.

That’s a lot of buzz … but as we’ve seen several times before in this ongoing saga, buzz has routinely given way to, well … nothing. In fact we met several weeks ago with a friend of several ring members who mocked the incessant speculation regarding this investigation – a source who assured us no indictments would be forthcoming in the case.

State and federal agents have been probing underground gambling in Lexington County, S.C. for  – meticulously following the money in an effort to determine which public officials have aided and abetted (and perhaps even participated in) this criminal activity. Within the last few months they’ve reportedly tightened the noose on the “ring,” a cabal of corrupt politicians and crooked cops said to be running a video poker racket.

The ring burst into the headlines last summer when a Lexington, S.C. councilman named Danny Frazier was surreptitiously recorded detailing the inner workings of its operation to a prospective client. These recordings were provided to the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) in the early spring of 2012 by a former member of the ring – a ex-magistrate who claims he once issued favorable rulings from the bench on behalf of the underground video poker industry.

Frazier originally denied making the statements contained in the recordings, but later changed his tune and said he fabricated them in an effort to make himself appear influential.

Among the names Frazier dropped on the tapes? In addition to Metts, he listed Columbia, S.C. mayor Steve Benjamin, former S.C. Senator Jakie Knotts (RINO-Lexington) and S.C. Senator Ronnie Cromer (RINO-Newberry) as being participants in the ring’s activities.

What sort of activities are we talking about? In addition to video poker, the ring’s leaders have been accused of misappropriated public fundsprostitution … even murder.

Another name mentioned on the tapes? Jason Amodio – the police chief of South Congaree, S.C., a small town whose government offices were recently raided by state and federal agents. News of this raid – and its connection to the ring – was exclusively reported by this website. According to our sources, Amodio has played a key role in the evolution of this case in recent weeks – even though town officials in South Congaree claim he is being investigated for an adulterous affair with a fellow town employee, not anything related to the ring.

We find that excuse difficult to accept …

More likely? That Amodio is the latest local official to cooperate with the investigation …

So … will there be indictments this case next week? Or is this the latest example of the South Carolina political rumor mill running amok again? We attempted to contact S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson about the case, but never heard back from him. That’s not surprising, though, as no sitting Attorney General would ever confirm details of a case that’s pending before a statewide grand jury.

Guess we’ll find out soon enough … but it does appear as though the investigation of the ring is reaching some sort of climax.

I know a guy who personally owns 750 machines. When the law passed to outlaw them he sent 300 to Texas and 100 to North Carolina. The rest are still running in the upstate.
Another guy I am aware of has about twice that amount and his are scattered from Daytona to Charlotte and all points in between. He is doing a stretch of 5 in home confinement so he built a new home to the tune of 17000 square feet with a grotto and a huge lap pool. The helicopter pad out back stays busy and he is never lonely. Nothing ever changes. Sad thing is, his flunkies got the same sentence but their lawyers didn’t negotiate going outside the house so they are stuck in standard 1800 square foot tract homes without even a screened porch to catch the morning breeze.

Even for Toal who is addicted to power, has no morals, ethics, integrity, loyalty or character to kick Pleicones in the balls is a bit much when she is trying to go out with a decent legacy. Something serious is up here.

Donna is also a close relative of Jean Toal and worked in Joe Wilson’s office. Peeler is brother to Sen majority leader Harvey Peeler.

You are right about most of what you post Lexington Voter, but “Bob and Donna Peeler” you are not. He has never married her. They are still together though. But, he does cheat on her and she knows it. She still likes to cause problems for her ex husband who she cheated on with Peeler (they were next door neighbors). Both of her kids are druggies and are in and out of jail. She by no means was a good mother. Totally ruined her family with the affair. She and Peeler bought off her ex husband’s attorney and the Judge in Aiken. So her ex husband had to give her half of his retirement, and half of his inheritance from his mother. Donna is evil and so is Peeler. So, of course they would be caught up in all of this.

Halfacre and Owens should have never been elected Mayors of their towns, they think nthey are bullet proof; but, hopefully their time has come. Halfacre is rumored to be involved with a squeeze on the side…who could see anything in him?

It all depends on how long the closing attorney takes to get to the Deeds Register Office. I am not aware of any time pressure.

I have seen deeds that were filed months late. If they take too long, though, the tax bill does not get sent to the new owner, the old owner ignores the bills and then the property gets sold for taxes.

A citizen said, “You’re not the sheriff anymore. You shouldn’t be carrying those guns.” The sheriff said, “Hell, anybody who’s as unpopular as I am had better be ready to defend himself!”

It gives me a warm feeling even just thinking about it.

But what are the real chances . . . in South Carolina?

If anything happens it will have to be the feds. Republican Atty General’s like Allen Wilson do not indict people unless they come gift wrapped like Ken Ard did and the AG has no chance.

People that are not indicted by AG’s are great fundraisers for those AG’s who have the power to indict!

I am FOR video poker. I am FOR private poker. I am FOR any kind of gambling that can be gambled on. I believe that keeping me from gambling is a violation of my 1st amendment right to freedom of religion. I believe that every time a State Legislator is not stricken down by the Almighty with a bolt of lightning, IT IS A LUCKY DAY!

Can I get an AMEN? CAN I GET AN AMEN?

Does anyone remember that it was the PREACHER’S back door where you could get the best illegal moonshine?

Now THIS is my favorite kind of Fits article. We know Alan Wilson will NEVER touch any of the big players in the crime ring because his family is too connected with them. Hope of Federal indictments does give us hope. Thank You for the hope, Fits!

Hope that they will put good ole Jakie away for awhile. He keeps popping up all over the place. Here is a quote from Mayor Wiszowaty in the May 16th issue of The Twin City News in response to a question about a very “questionable check for $500,000.00 in 2008”. Wiszowaty stated the $500,000.00 Cain was speaking of was not a grant but a check from Senator Jake Knott.
I know $500,000.00 is not a lot of money, but as the old saying goes, $500k here $500K there and soon we will be talking real money.
There must be something wrong with this Grant, called a gift and now just “a check from Jake Knotts”.

I love it when you idiots start throwing names in the mix that have nothing to do with the topic at hand!!! Yes, there is something shady going on but everyone who holds a position within the county does not need to be named. Hey Limo Driver… please explain how Owens got thrown in the mix??

My Momma told me, “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get”. I guess Momma should have included politicians. You see and hear one thing and get something totally different.
I remember Owens support for Frazier when he ran for County Council, Owens supported him and Halfacre when they ran fro Mayor and Council, He supported Frazier for House of Rep.
Owens hired Frazier to a do nothing job and paid him handsomely! What he get for town money other than a liar, adulterer and a crook?

He supported Tim James for County Manager and Chief Deputy at Sheriffs Office, Metts for re-election, Dennis Tindle was his Chief of Police, I’ve seen him socializing with many of the named “Ring” members and their sluts.
I guess birds of a feather flock together and he would be guilty by association.
Momma always said, “You are judges by the company you keep!” Joe has not kept very good company.

All this is about is Rich Bolen and that glorified rent-a-cop Amadio spreading dirt about the powers that be in the Lexington GOP hierarchy because Bolen got smacked down in the primary by Ronnie Cromer last spring; you’ll never see any indictments except on fat fuck Frazier, and jimmy Metts will clean that up before there’s blood on his hands.
