Special election set after North Charleston councilmen resign amid federal corruption case

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) — A special election will be held in May to replace two North Charleston city council members who resigned last week amid a federal corruption probe.

Jerome Heyward (District 5) and Sandino Moses (District 3) were charged Feb. 26 in a year-long public corruption investigation that uncovered several schemes involving bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering. Both resigned shortly after the charges were announced.

The special election to fill their seats has been scheduled for May 27, according to the Charleston County Board of Elections.

Mike A. Brown, who represents District 1, was also charged in the investigation. The governor’s office suspended him as he did not immediately resign from his post.
