FBI investigation of Jay Hodge and 4th circuit solicitor's office
The Myrtle Beach Sun News and the Charlotte Observer have picked up the investigation, although they have nothing new to report:
The FBI is investigating former S.C. prosecutor Jay Hodge following allegations about financial improprieties during his time in office.Before retiring in January, Hodge, 59, served for 12 years as the elected solicitor of the 4th Judicial Circuit, which covers four mostly rural counties southeast of Charlotte, N.C., - Chesterfield, Darlington, Dillon and Marlboro.
"Allegations came in from that community regarding Mr. Hodge and financial matters within the office during his tenure as solicitor," said Kevin McDonald, first Assistant U.S. Attorney for South Carolina. "And the FBI is following up on the allegations."
