A South Carolina sheriff faces decades in prison after he was caught blowing thousands in taxpayer funds on cigarettes, fast food, internet games and pain pills.
Former Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright, 60, admitted Thursday to using a county-provided credit card to fund a depressing years-long spending spree, KCRG reported .
That included buying nearly 100 packs of cigarettes at Dollar General, and $1,300 in app store cellphone games like “Ramp Car Jumping,” “Huntwise” and “Royal Match.”
He also blew $5,000 at restaurants like Fuddruckers and Chik-fil-A, along with purchases at Best Buy, CVS Pharmacy and Sirius XM radio.
In total, Wright spent more than $50,000 in taxpayer funds on frivolous personal expenses between 2017 and 2024, the Post and Courier reported .
