Union County Council will meet Tuesday evening to discuss what to do about the county's supervisor position.
Last week, county supervisor Donnie Betenbaugh was suspended by Governor Mark Sanford after he was indicted on charges of conspiracy, woliciting bribes, extortion, distributing prescription drugs and allowing drugs to be stashed in the tax assessor's office. Prosecutors claim that Betenbaugh used his position to extort money in kickbacks and buy property owned by Union County. He also allegedly sold drugs out of the tax assessors office and made money from the sale of hydrocodone and cocaine.
He was indicted along with four others, including former Sheriff Howard Wells and former Tax Assessor Willie Randall Jr.
Betenbaugh also served as the Chairman of Union County Council. The meeting is supposed to start at 5:30.
