EDGEFIELD COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE SOLVES FOURTEEN BURGLARIES
On April 16, 2012, the Edgefield County Sheriff's Office participated in a school-wide health fair at Wardlaw Academy, sponsored by the Piedmont Technical College Nursing program. The event was held from 8:30 am-1:00 pm. Cpl. Charles Reel set up a display table of drug paraphernalia and gave numerous 10-15 minute discussions to each grade (5th-12th) on the negative effects of the abuse of illegal and prescription drugs. A slideshow presentation was also used in support of the information. Students, as well as the Piedmont Nursing students enjoyed participating in the "intoxication simulation" with the Fatal Vision Drunk Goggles (see left).
