Spartanburg Co. Clerk Of Court Arrested
Clerk Accused Of Stealing Drugs

POSTED: 2:38 pm EST February 2, 2010

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Federal prosecutors said that Spartanburg County Clerk of Court Marcus Kitchens and another man have been arrested and charged with federal drug crimes.

Investigators said that Kitchens stole drugs from the Spartanburg County Courthouse's evidence room. They said that Kitchens then asked Terry Lanford, of Spartanburg County, to find a buyer for the stolen drugs. They said that Lanford found a buyer in Florida and sold him the stolen drugs in August.

Prosecutors said that the buyer in Florida was actually a confidentially informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. They said that authorities in both South Carolina and Florida worked with the informant to identify Lanford and Kitchens as the source of the drugs.

Kitchens and Lanford were arrested on Tuesday morning after law enforcement monitored a meeting between the two, investigators said. They said that during the meeting Landford paid Kitchens $3,000 for partial overdue payment on the August drug deal.
