MB Case: Prostitute sting nets county politician

“I'm just sorry that I got caught up in it.”

Ronald Vogel sees fewer prostitutes and more police in the neighborhood he shares with Horry County Councilman Marion D. Foxworth III, a longtime advocate for increasing police patrols in the area.

Foxworth now faces a charge of loitering for prostitution after Myrtle Beach police arrested him and 21 others on Thursday in a prostitution bust in the Withers Swash community that he has worked to make safer.

Foxworth, who is up for re-election next year, denies any wrongdoing.

What's next for Foxworth, who said he supported a loitering ordinance for Myrtle Beach in 2004 so police could crack down on prostitution, is uncertain. Read more

Great now that they have them off the street the prostitutes can go to work at the strip clubs where this activity seems to go on legally and nothing is ever done. Walk into any strip club and sex will be offered to you. These clubs hire off duty officers to work for them to let them know when a raid comes.

Sheriff Mike Hunt arrests who he wants to and turns a bind eye to those who he doesn't want to arrest when probable cause exists for criminal behavior. There is probable cause to arrest the fired narcotics deputy for misconduct in office, misuse of government property, solicitation or adultery/fornication. Since he is an officer of the law and has knowledge of probable cause associated with these probable crimes, he may also be guilty of misconduct in office since arrest warrants have not been issued in this case by his law enforcement agency.
