 Nuisance ordinance to be used to charge future mud boggers web posted February 7, 2008 EDGEFIELD – After the first trial of those cited after mud bogging on Grandpa Road Wednesday, Judge Carpenter told Guy Mueller of the Building and Planning Department that the charge of malicious injury to personal or public property is not the best way to handle those caught destroying county roads. Judge Carpenter also stated that handling the matter as a civil case was also not advisable if the county intends to recoup the cost of repairing the roads. The solution is to charge those mud bogging with a violation of the nuisance ordinance which has just recently been passed by the county council. According to Judge Carpenter if the case was heard as a civil matter those responsible may refuse to pay and the county would only be able to then receive a judgment against the individuals. Charging those caught in the act with the nuisance ordinance would assure compliance. If found guilty in the case the individual would be ordered to pay the cost of repairing the road. If they failed to do so they could be jailed for up to 30 days and then could face civil charges. ©
