A 15-year-old Andrews High School student  was charged with communicating obscene messages after admitting he was the one who wrote a profanity-laced letter to a teacher.

The hand-written note was slipped under the teacher’s classroom door Feb. 1.

The report describes the content of the letter as “very obscene and very vulgar and derogative.

In the letter, the teen calls the teacher several profane names.

After an investigation, it was determined the teen was the author of the letter so he was called to the office.

At first he denied writing the note but after continued questioning he admitted he was the writer.

However, he said it was one of his friends who slid it under the classroom door.

The Solicitor’s Office was contacted about the appropriate criminal charge.

The teen was suspended and faces possible expulsion.

Fire destroys camper

Deputies were sent to the 6800 block of Georgetown Highway Jan. 31 because of a camper that was destroyed by fire.

The fire had occurred the previous day.

The owner said he believes his brother is responsible because he had threatened to burn down a building on the property.

He said he had planned to convert the camper into a hot dog stand.

A really disgruntled employee

A Myrtle Beach woman is accused of — but has not been charged with — trashing the office where she worked after she was terminated.

It happened at a dentist office in Murrells Inlet Jan. 30. A co-worker said the woman was supposed to stop by to get a computer and fill out a time sheet.

When she arrived she “barged” into the office and started “pulling stuff off the wall, breaking phone cables” and a printer,” the report states.

She also threw a computer into a hallway and caused a “gash” in a wall before she left without the time sheets.

The deputy took photos of the scene.
