NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. --- Trouble on the job for North Augusta's long time Public Safety Director.
News 12 has learned Chief Lee Wetherington was punished recently for forwarding what some consider an inappropriate e-mail.
News 12 talked with North Augusta's Mayor Larke Jones and North Augusta's City Manager Sam Bennett, who both refused to comment, other than to say it is a personnel matter.
News 12 also talked with Chief Wetherington himself Wednesday night. At the time, he said he couldn't comment but was anxious to clear the air. Chief Wetherington has scheduled a news conference at 3pm Thursday to discuss what he calls his "reported suspension."
