The South Carolina State Ethics Commission (SCSEC) has initiated an investigation into Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright following allegations of nepotism.
On July 11, 2024, government watchdog Kyle Joslin accused Wright of violating the S.C. Ethics Reform Act for personally deputizing his son, Jared “Andy” Wright. The following week, the commission’s executive director told Joslin he had provided the agency with “facts sufficient to warrant an investigation.”
