SPARTANBURG COUNTY, SC (WSPA) – A man is facing charges after falsely claiming to have coronavirus, which led to the shutdown of a company in Spartanburg.

A SITEL employee falsely claimed he had COVID-19, causing the company to shut down for 5 days, according to Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright.

“Seems to me like the fellow just wanted a two week paid vacation,” Sheriff Chuck Wright said during a press conference Thursday.

It sure was.

But the question I have, is falsely claiming you have to obtain some advantage (like time off sick pay) better or worse than ignoring symptoms and continuing to have public contact? For example, like the reporter who showed up with a fever and was prevented from attending a WH press event?

One is spreading panic to obtain a personal benefit, the other is closer to depraved negligent discharge of a deadly weapon.

I bet that, much so many of the fake ‘racist attacks’ of the last few years, that there is a LOT of stuff like this going on too.

Offer the guy his job back with a raise, then never issue him a paycheck.

Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright offered free concealed carry classes for women during the Obuma years. He’s one of the good guys.

But no quotes from his husband. He looks a little soft around the edges.

I’m curious what law he broke. The authorities always seem to find laws to throw at people when they need them, and look the other way and shrug “not much we can do ma’am” when it suits them.

“The Sheriff says he used a forged doctor’s excuse.

He is facing charges for breach of peace and forgery and is facing up to ten years in prison”

He is in trouble. You really should not screw around like this in these times.

He would have found the bars and restaurants closed anyway before going to zombie around Walmart with the rest of the horde for a few hours. So the cops probably saved him from getting infected.
