ORANGEBURG, S.C. (T&D) - Former Bamberg County councilman Kerry Trent Kinard is facing additional sex charges in another county.
The S.C. Law Enforcement Division has charged the 49-year-old with third-degree criminal sexual conduct, dissemination of obscene material to a person under 18 and committing lewd or lascivious act upon a child under age 16.
The charges stem from incidents that allegedly occurred in Jasper County when Kinard was between the ages of 22 and 29.
Warrants allege that Kinard committed third-degree criminal sexual conduct between August and December 1998 by attempting to have sex with a female 14 years of age or less.
BAMBERG - Bamberg County Administrator Joey Preston said he s seeking additional funding as the county moves to complete a three-phase hospital renovation project.
The county has a plan to transform its former hospital into a law enforcement and health and human services complex.
Preston reported during a virtual Bamberg County Council meeting on Dec. 7 that 10 general contractors have already been pre-qualified to complete the work to transform the hospital into a law enforcement and health and human services complex. There are four bidders now that intend to submit a bid on Dec. 22. Most were from the Columbia and Lexington area, and we had one from Charleston. . Hopefully, that s going to be a pretty competitive project. So we ll know at least by the first meeting in January on how the bidding process went, he said.
