Clevenger concedes to Rhyne in race for Spartanburg County Sheriff
Bill Rhyne opened a large lead in early returns for Spartanburg County Sheriff, prompting a concession from his opponent, Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Cleveger The two faced off in a runoff in the Republican Party primary. "The voters have spoken -- we just didn't have the numbers," Clevenger told the Herald-Journal at about 8 p.m. "I can't say enough about the people who have supported me. I appreciate them more than they may ever know." Clevenger was reelected as coroner in 2024. "We'll move forward as part of the team with a new sheriff," he said. Following the resignation of former Sheriff Chuck Wright in May, Clevenger and Rhyne were among nine candidates to file for the Republican nomination for November's special election. There's no Democrat on the November ballot. Rhyne and Clevenger previously served in the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office before taking different career paths. Clevenger has served as Spartanburg County coroner since 2009. Rhyne went to work with the South Carolina Highway Patrol, where he served as the lead public information and community engagement officer. During the primary -- especially the two weeks before the Aug. 19 runoff -- Clevenger touted his experience while Rhyne described himself as "the change candidate."

Man who lied to police in parking lot shooting sentenced to jail
Aug. 19—ROCHESTER — A man who falsely told police he fired the gun at the scene of a fatal shooting was given six months in jail for giving a false statement to investigators. Jose Abraham Gutierrez Ojeda, 28, was sentenced in Olmsted County District Court Tuesday, Aug. 19, on a felony charge of aiding an offender. He admitted to telling police it was he, and not his brother, who shot and killed a man in a Chick-fil-A parking lot in Rochester in February 2024. Video and witness accounts confirm it was Isaac Gutierrez, Jose's brother, who fired the shot that killed Osbel Ornelas, 24, during a fight in the Chick-fil-A parking lot on South Broadway in Rochester on Feb. 3, 2024. Video shows Jose was the first to exit the car after the car he was in nearly struck the car Ornelas was driving. Jose displayed a pistol and later put the weapon back into the car and scuffled with Ornelas. Isaac then retrieved the firearm and shot Ornelas in the head. Jose pleaded guilty in February this year to the charge. Jose apologized to members of Ornelas' family, at least one of whom was in the courtroom Tuesday. "I can't imagine their loss," he said. "I want them to know I'm truly sorry." Jose said he didn't intend to hinder the police investigation of the shooting but was only trying to protect his brother. "I felt responsible for my little brother and what happened that day," he said. On that point, Judge Kathy M. Wallace, who presided over the proceeding Tuesday, agreed. "I think you truly realize that this wouldn't have occurred but for your actions," Wallace said to Jose. However, Wallace disagreed with Jose and his attorney's attorney, Eric Olson, who both said Jose's statement to police was made out of regret, remorse and sense of protectiveness for his younger brother who did pull the trigger. Olson also said the statements didn't hinder the investigation into the incident thanks to witness statements and video. "I don't find it to be an impulsive decision," Wallace said, noting that after the shooting Jose took the gun from Isaac and switched seats in the car with his brother before giving his false statement. "The fact that law enforcement figured it out is not attributable to the defendant," Wallace said. "It was because of the police work." Olson asked Wallace to lower the offense to a gross misdemeanor and not impose a prison sentence. Instead, Wallace imposed a 75-month sentence that will be stayed as long as Jose complies with terms of his probation. She ordered Jose to serve 90 days in jail beginning immediately with the possibility of work release and to serve another 90-day sentence beginning on the anniversary of the 2024 murder. Isaac was convicted by a jury of the murder and sentenced to five years in prison. The state is appealing the sentence arguing it's too lenient.
