Newly elected Chapin Mayor Bill Mitchell faces SLED investigation over alleged shoulder grab of town clerk, which he denies.
A South Carolina police report obtained Dec. 4 alleges that newly elected Chapin Mayor Bill Mitchell grabbed the town’s clerk of court by the shoulders in November, prompting an investigation by the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED).
The incident occurred before Mitchell’s unscheduled swearing-in, which he said was necessary after the sudden death of former Mayor Al Koon.
SLED confirmed it is investigating the alleged assault, but no details were released.
Mitchell denied the claims, called them unfounded, and said he would cooperate fully.
The town’s legal counsel is advising officials on compliance during the probe, and no recusal plan has been announced.
The situation has raised concerns about local government transparency and protocol.
