During a General Sessions trial in Greenville County, Wright testified that he was a certified law enforcement officer employed by the Duncan Police Department. The South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy had no record of Wright being a certified law enforcement officer.
Additionally, SLED Regulatory records indicated Wright was a certified security guard.
More details can be found in the attached warrant.
Wright Jr. was booked into the Greenville County Detention Center.
The case will be prosecuted by the 13th Circuit Solicitor’s Office.
