 Records of arrest no longer exist web posted July 24, 2009 COUNTY – All records associated with the 2006 arrest of Greg Morris for indecent exposure and drug possession at a North Carolina Principals and Assistant Principals Fall Leadership conference at Atlantic Beach are gone. It appears that the reports and booking photo have been expunged from the official record. However, the record of the arrest and the incident are still available on the internet. At this time it is unknown if the charges were dropped, reduced, or found guilty with conditions that would allow the record to be expunged after a time period. It remains unknown if the Edgefield County School Board will continue with their effort to hire Morris as the vice principal for Merriwether Elementary. If in fact the records have been expunged, legally it is as if the incident never occurred. However, the arrest and the stories reporting the reason for the arrest were already being emailed throughout the county Tuesday night after the School Board meeting announcing the names of those chosen to fill four administrative positions. By Wednesday morning school board members phones began to ring. EdgefieldDaily.com received calls throughout the day about the situation as parents, and some teachers, voiced serious concerns about the selection of Morris due to the widely read articles on the internet. After reading the reports online, and confirming that the man named therein was the one chosen as the prospective hire for Merriwether Elementary, it was obvious why such strong feelings were prevalent. Although the official records are no longer available, media outlets that reported on the arrest and received a press release from the Atlantic Beach Police Department at the time are being contacted in an effort to obtain the original incident report which would contain the information officers used to determine the charges were warranted. Officially, however, the incident and arrest never happened. © Copyright 2009
