Marlboro County deputies arrest daughter of McColl mayor on assault charge
MARLBORO COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — The daughter of McColl Mayor Robert Outlaw was arrested on multiple charges including assault, the Marlboro County Sheriff's Office said Thursday.
Kelly Outlaw was charged with third-degree assault and battery and unlawful communication. She was booked into the Marlboro County Detention Center, where she awaits a bond hearing.
The incident stemmed from a dispute that started on a Facebook news post and escalated into a series of threatening messages sent through Facebook Messenger, totaling 40 messages, including audio messages regarding the 'McColl town government disputes,' according to the sheriff's office. Outlaw was apprehended at her residence, and while she was being apprehended, she allegedly threatened to harm the victim in front of the investigators arresting her.
The town has seen its share of controversy in the past year, with former Mayor George Garner — who was being investigated by SLED — dying in a car crash less than a week after the town's entire police department resigned.
Early last week, the town appeared to have a new police chief with the appointment of Billy Stubbs. However, days later, Stubbs backed out.
Stubbs was on the town's police force from March 2011 until July 2020 and has worked for the Marlboro County Sheriff's Office since January 2021, according to employment records from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy.

In good spirits - Chris Phillips (right) with Mitchell and Mike Drew (Image: NICKY HAYES) SOUTHEND Echo reporter Chris Phillips staged a successful pre-Wembley live-stream at the Railway Pub tonight. Chris - who has covered the Shrimpers for the Echo since 2003 - was joined by a number of key names from the club and community ahead of Sunday's play-off final with Oldham Athletic. Advertisement And he was keen to thank those who helped him raise funds for the Mind of the Student charity. Chris said: "These things are always hard to put together and run but it was great to have so many great guests. "It was nice to speak to those who played such a key part during the club's struggles and to really sit back and reflect on how far we've come before we kept caught up in the madness of Wembley. "A big thanks also goes to Data Migrator for sponsoring the livestream and the Railway for hosting. "We had more than 6,000 people tuned in for most of it and we raised a good amount of money for a cause so close to my heart too." Advertisement Among those to join Chris for interviews were Darryl Flahavan, Justin Rees, Steve Tilson, Tom Lawrence, Daniel Cowan, Barry Corr, Duncan Jupp and Jason Demetriou. Chris also spoke with Mitchell Drew - the young fan he memorably photographed cleaning the never give up sign at Roots Hall - plus several supporters who have flown in from all around the world to be at Wembley. National League expert Sam Collyer also gave his views on Sunday's game. Chris added: "The stream can still be watched via my Twitter channel and on Facebook for anyone who might be interested. "People can still donate too."
