Solicitor Scarlett Wilson announced this week that a Charleston County grand jury indicted Michael Slager in the killing of Walter Scott on April 4. Slager was originally charged with murder April 7 and later fired from his job with the North Charleston Policy Department.
Walter Scott was pulled over by Slager for a non-functioning tail light. Scott fled from his vehicle several minutes after the stop and was pursued on foot by Slager. A video recorded by Feigin Santana shows Scott running away from Slager, who pulled out his service weapon and fired eight shots at Scott, killing him. Slager’s next court appearance is scheduled for August 21.

Good Morning! Here is your KellyGram.
Richland County Airport Commission
In today’s KellyGram, I want to make all our friends aware we are blessed to have two outstanding airports in the Midlands – Columbia Metropolitan Airport and Jim Hamilton – LB Owens Airport. Hamilton – Owens is in the Rosewood community and is a major asset to the City of Columbia and the Midlands. It is a state-of-the-art economic force in allowing private air transportation to be minutes away from downtown Columbia.
My late wife Anne Kelly had a passion for public service and shortly before her death extended her dedication to the community by serving on the Hamilton – Owens Airport Commission Board. After her death the Richland County Council saw fit to appoint me to continue her term.
Attached is a link to the Airport Commissioner website which contains interesting information about this remarkable facility. I am honored to serve. http://www.richlandonline.com/Government/Commissions/AirportCommission.aspx
Yours Truly,
Mike
