Chief Suspended Over Ticket Quota Scheme | Greenville News

In a shocking turn of events, McBee, South Carolina’s police chief Timmy Knight has had his law enforcement certification suspended after being arrested on charges of criminal conspiracy and misconduct in office. Allegations claim he orchestrated a ticket quota scheme, ordering officers to falsify records by using other officers’ logins to inflate ticket numbers—reportedly to please the mayor. Evidence includes damning text messages detailing how to cover up the fraud. If convicted, Knight could face a lifetime ban from policing. The mayor is also under investigation but hasn’t been indicted yet. With over two decades of service, Knight was released on $10,000 bond, awaiting trial.
