SLED Probe Sitting On Solicitor’s Desk

The S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has completed its investigation into allegations against interim City of Columbia, S.C. police chief Ruben Santiago, multiple sources familiar with the probe tell FITS.

In fact the SLED report on Santiago has been sitting on the desk of a local solicitor for “several weeks,” we’re told.

Earlier this year CPD Captain David Navarro accused Santiago of asking him on multiple occasions to engage in “black ops” – including efforts to plant cocaine (and a stolen handgun) in the vehicle of assistant city manager Allison Baker. Navarro says he reported Santiago’s activities to city officials – and was promptly suspended without pay.

According to our sources S.C. Fifth District solicitor Dan Johnson received a SLED report on the Santiago matter weeks ago – but has been “sitting on it.”

Why? That’s a good question.

Columbia, S.C. voters will got to the polls on December 3 to decide whether to give mayor Steve Benjamin additional powers.

Perhaps this is an effort to keep things under wraps until after the big vote …

What a complete and total cesspool. I’m sure the paragon of virtue will do the right thing with the investigation findings…lol

Hell, he probably was part of the coked up gang bang with Benedict co-eds in Randy/T-Bone’s love nest downtown.

I’m sure Dan, T-Bone, & Ruben will all get together and work it out at a local pub. JUST DON’T LIKE T-BONE DRIVE HOME AFTER!

My name is Jean Toal and I approved and have endorsed all Dan Johnson has done – professionally and personally – through my corrupt judicial and attorney discipline system. If you have any questions, I don’t care. I now have Vinny Sheheen endorsing me to continue as chief justice – so, again – kiss my royal ass.

Rumors are floating around that former Chief Shorty hasn’t been showing up for work at his newly created job at RCSD. Supposedly, his job is as an “ethics instructor” or “auditor” of some type. If that isn’t a horse laugh and a half, I don’t know what is.

Excerpt from Shifty’s scientific paper on “Do Boobies Make the World Go Round ?”
====================

Statement: “Boobies have no medicinal effect, either on the psyche or general medical health”

This was instantly disproved by several women
who claim the following, in summation:

“The important thing to remember about men is that no matter what they are complaining about, whether its that they hate their jobs, their backs hurt, or they feel like their lives are ‘empty and meaningless’, popping a singular booby in the mouth of an ailing man not only makes him feel much better but
also ceases his incessant complaining.”

Boobies are proven to have a 99% effectiveness
rating against placebo with most non-lethal illnesses, even alleviating chronic muscle and joint pain.

Last I heard on this, the “package” from Stop Let’s Eat Donuts had been forwarded to the Solicitor in Greenville by Johnson, ostensibly to avoid anything looking inappropriate. The question remains as to whether or not Dan asked them to whitewash this and whether or not Greenville will do it.

Why is Santiago and/or Scott not under arrest or indictment by now?

The lack of action on this matter, as well as the Lexington Crime Ring by SCAG Wilson is indicative of his uselessness if not his glaring corruption.

The report is from Stop Let’s Eat Donuts. At most it details the Cookie Caper from the front of the box of Cookie Crisp cereal. The faux Army Ranger Santaigo is made of Teflon and stolen car stereos.

Everyone knows it’s been a conspiracy to set up Santiago because he won’t play the Lott game. Word is that Lott is holding up the investigation because he won’t bend to his will. Whoever heard of someone asking several times to set someone up, you would think that after the first time he would have stop asking. People need to read between the lines. Politic people politics

Hey Fits! I found out something earlier today. You know how I constantly bitch about how comments become invisible after a varying number of comments are on a given thread? Well, I found out that for some reason, if I add a star (like) to the story, at the top of the thread, it exacerbates the problem. If I remove the star (like) on a thread where the problem has developed, it gets better. For this reason, a lot of your stories that I like will be missing the usual like.

Hope this helps others who are suffering with this problem.

CiC, I like you! Anyway, you’re saying that you “liked” someone’s comment, and then later you decided that you didn’t like it after all. Hmmph!

I’m on a PC, and the options are “vote up = ^” .. and “vote down = v”. I’ve wondered how portable devices work and how readable the text is on them, since I’ve never used one.

Hi Shifty! My bad on terminology. I equate the ^ (vote up) to “like” and the v (vote down) to a dislike. Same goes for the little star thingy at the top of the comment thread which I equate to “liking” the article. Sorry for the confusion.

Anyway, for some reason, that star thing at the top of the comment section on the right side of the page must eat up a shitload of data space or something.

Thanks, because the star was overlooked, but I was more interested in rating the commentators posts. I’ll look back to see how many articles have been “starred.”

Didn’t Cannon get charged with a misdemeanor related to that slapping/punching the car chase guy and, since it was not a felony, no big deal?
Or, is there another case on him?

Glass houses. This will probably die on the Solicitor’s desk, as he has as much to lose as his cronies. Our only hope is that the crooked developers will start ratting on T-Bone and his cronies to avoid becoming someone’s jail house bitch, and the whole bunch will wind up in orange jumpsuits.

This rumor has been making the rounds so there must be some validity to it. The problem is the Solicitor is a member of the Lott family and is elected with no CYA available from Lott. If and when this is brought forward it could be as fucked up at the AHC. Wonder if former Chief Shorty has had is chain yanked for posing as a sworn office since PTSD patients can’t carry a firearm. I thought he was suppose to be a community officer which is like putting a Bob Cat in a hen house.
