A little off topic but an interesting tidbit about Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott...
"" Lott has been in trouble with the federal
government before. Earlier this year, WISTV
reported that Lott had traded two planes from
the sheriff’s department that technically
belonged to the federal government, causing
the entire Richland County Sheriff’s
Department to be suspended from a military
surplus program. The department might lose
millions of dollars because of the mistake. The
program involves the U.S. Defense Department
loaning out surplus military equipment to law
enforcement agencies. In 2013, the
Department of Defense loaned two C-23
Sherpa aircrafts to the department. The C-23s
can fly at higher altitudes and for longer
distances than helicopters. After receiving
them, Lott traded them with Win Win Aviation
for a Cessna Stationair, saying the Cessna was
better for drug surveillance missions and
interdiction. The problem, WISTV reported, was
that Lott didn’t actually own the C-23s so they
weren’t his to trade in the first place. Win Win
sued when asked to return the plans, saying it
made more than a million in modifications and
has contracts in place for their use. The whole
thing may be settled out of court."'

The whole thing may be settled out of court.
It may have just been settled out of court after today
