Roland Corning in 1990
Is there something about South Carolina that the rest of the nation is missing? Is there something in the water there? Is South Carolina the secret sex mecca of the United States? Why do so many political sex scandals as of late seem to be coming out of South Carolina? What is going on there?
Oh, so many questions. And so many more now that deputy assistant attorney general Roland Corning has been fired.
According to an Associated Press report, Corning, who was a Republican legislator in the late 80s and early 90s, was relieved of his position on Monday after he was found with a stripper in a cemetery by a police officer. It is not exactly clear what it was that he did that warranted him being fired, as neither he nor the stripper was arrested.
What is known at this point is that a police officer approached Corning's SUV that was parked in a remote part of the cemetery. When the officer approached, Corning sped off. After traveling just a few blocks, he pulled over.
He reportedly had an 18-year-old employee of the Platinum Plus Gentleman's Club in the vehicle with him. When questioned as to why they were in the cemetery, they gave conflicting stories.
Corning showed the officer on the scene, Michael Wines, his badge, which showed that he worked at the state Attorney General's Office. As it turns out, Officer Wines' wife works at the state Attorney General's Office, so he called her to confirm that Corning was telling the truth.
Officer Wines then searched Corning's vehicle. He reportedly found a Viagra tablet and sex toys therein. When he questioned Corning about the items, he reportedly said that he kept them in his SUV "'just in case.'" What does that even mean?
After receiving the phone call from her husband, Officer Wines' wife reported the phone call to her supervisor who then told Attorney General Henry McMaster. On Wednesday McMaster said, "'We received credible information about inappropriate behavior Monday afternoon. And by the close of business, he was no longer working here.'" He went on to say that a cemetery trip like this "'would not be appropriate, at any time, for an assistant attorney general.'"
There is no word as to whether the stripper has lost her job over the incident.
