It’s always sad and disappointing to me when the people we elect to represent and protect us turn out to be crooks. Wright will plead guilty to several charges, including stealing from the benevolence fund, use of illegal drugs and paying a cousin $200k per year that never showed up for work. https://www.wspa.com/news/local-news/former-spartanburg-co-sheriff-pleads-guilty-to-federal-charges/ |

He is a disgrace to law enforcement and I hope that the federal judge gives him a sentence at least equal to what any rank and file officer would get for committing such crimes. I am not optimistic that will happen though. Unfortunately, he has been the highest paid sheriff in the state for years and will continue to collect his pension despite his crimes dating back several years. |

I'm glad. I know he will end up with some level of leniency as part of the deal compared to all the charges against him. He knows his goose was cooked. I'm glad he won't cost tax payers even more through litigation though. |

| When I lived in Spartanburg I knew him well. We even attended church together, but that was 15+ years ago. He was always a good guy to me, but apparently he got greedy. |
