On June 27, 2024, the Richland County Sheriff Office issued a press release regarding charges filed against former Pine Valley Administrator Shaponda Jimerson. These charges are a result, at least in part, of information provided to RCSO by County personnel obtained in the course of its investigation into Pine Valley operations. The County became aware of alleged threats made against Jimerson and immediately referred the matter to law enforcement, leading to a concurrent, parallel investigation into the allegations. County personnel were advised not to interfere in the criminal investigation, including by making any public comment regarding the matter.
The County’s investigation into Pine Valley led to Jimerson’s termination on June 13, 2024.
