MORNING HEADLINES | Former Democratic S.C. Rep. Marvin Pendarvis of North Charleston on Wednesday was indicted on 10 charges, including wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering, in a federal case that he schemed to defraud clients.
Pendarvis, who is scheduled to appear Nov. 18 in federal court in Charleston, reportedly declined to comment, according to media coverage.
He resigned the House seat that he held for seven years in September 2024 after a malpractice suit was filed against him.
