SUMMARY: Former Richland County Council member Anthony “Tony” Mizzell was arrested on June 29 after deputies observed his speeding Cadillac and initiated a traffic stop. Mizzell fled, claiming his daughter had a medical emergency, but deputies found no medical issues at the home he stopped at. The homeowner presented text messages and recordings of Mizzell threatening her. Two weapons were found in his vehicle. Mizzell became combative and threatened a deputy before being checked by EMS. Charged with failure to stop, reckless driving, third-degree domestic violence, and threatening a public official, he was later released on surety bonds.

SUMMARY: Angelina, an upstate restaurant, has been serving free food because the City of Fountain Inn has refused to grant it a business license. The owners, Paul and Virginia Kelly, reveal the original lawsuit against the building’s former tenants was dropped, but the city still won’t license Angelina. Losing hundreds of thousands in revenue, Angelina has sued the city. The city offered a license if the lawsuit is dropped, which the owners call blackmail—they just want to recoup losses. The city says it’s resolving the issue and awaits court dismissal to issue a license. Meanwhile, the community supports Angelina via GoFundMe.
