Seneca Police say Democratic Senate candidate Alvin Greene was kicked out of a restaurant there after his companion got into a fight with other political leaders eating there.
Oconee County Democratic Party officials had asked Greene to speak at their monthly meeting Saturday at Jimmy's in Seneca. But they rescinded the invitation after Greene was indicted Aug. 13 on a felony charge of showing pornography to a college student.
Seneca Police Chief John Covington said Tuesday that Greene showed up anyway, accompanied by a Westminster woman, named Dottie Sue Maggart-Feldman. Police and witnesses say that woman started verbal assaults on the Democratic officials there, accusing them of racism, in their treatment of Greene.
Party officials called police, who kicked out the pair and ended the party's meeting. No charges were filed.
Greene faces U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint and Green Party candidate Tom Clements in the November election.
Neither Maggart-Feldman or Greene returned our calls for comment.
