Something Different

Let’s pop in over at the 1st Circuit. It has been a while since we have been there to see what is going on with that solicitor’s office. We decided to feature a fellow by the name of William Trevor Alexander. It seems this forty year old thug and meth cook has been a thorn in the side of law enforcement in several counties since at least 2003. We will concentrate on his general sessions charges, but he has quite a few traffic charges and other magistrate’s level charges like multiple simple assaults (usually on women), stealing electricity, etc.

2003 Charges (Charleston County)

Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle - Pled guilty in November 2004. Sentenced by an unknown judge to ONE day time served.

Way harsh!!

The remainder of his charges will be from Dorchester County.

2003 Charges:

Assault & Battery High & Aggravated - Dismissed by the 1st Circuit Solicitor.

Kidnapping - Dismissed by the 1st Circuit Solicitor.

2004 Charges:

Manufacture Crack Cocaine or Meth - Dismissed by the 1st Circuit Solicitor.

2005 Charges:

Manufacture Crack Cocaine 3rd Offense or more - Pled down to Conspiracy to Violate SC Narcotics Laws by the 1st Circuit Solicitor.  Sentenced by Judge James Williams, Jr. to two years, suspended to 9 months time served and two years probation.

2007 Charges:

Assault & Battery High & Aggravated - Dismissed by the 1st Circuit Solicitor.

2009 Charges:

Unlawful Possession of Ephedrine (need to make methamphetamine) - Pled guilty. Sentenced by Judge Diane Goodstein to 104 days time served.

Possession of Methamphetamine - Pled guilty. Same sentence of 104 days time served.

Manufacturing Methamphetamine - Dismissed by the 1st Circuit Solicitor.

2011 Charges:

Possession of Methamphetamine 1st Offense - This obviously should have been second offense. Either way, it was dismissed by the 1st Circuit Solicitor.

Unlawful Possession of Ephedrine - Dismissed by the 1st Circuit Solicitor.

2012 Charges:

Possession of Methamphetamine - Dismissed by the 1st Circuit Solicitor.

 2013 Charges:

Alexander is currently in jail on these charges. He hasn’t been able to make bond.

Manufacturing Methampetamine - $75,000 bond.

Additional 2013 Charges:

Possession of Methamphetamine 1st Offense - obviously the wrong charge. Pled guilty. Sentenced by Judge Edgar Dickson to one day time served.

Based on this example, there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of difference in the track record of the 1st Circuit Solicitor’s Office as compared to that of the 9th Circuit Solicitor’s Office. We will try to pay a bit more attention to the goings on in Dorchester County from now on.
