Warrants issued for Cherokee Co. school board member, two others By Jim Galloway
Bill Simon spotted this late last night, from the Cherokee Tribune:
CANTON — The Canton Police Department issued warrants Friday for the arrests of Cherokee County School Board member Kelly Marlow, political adviser Robert Trim and Cherokee County Republican Party Secretary Barbara Knowles, on charges of making false statements that School Superintendent Dr. Frank Petruzielo tried to hit them with his car.
Canton Police Chief Robert Merchant confirmed Friday night that warrants were issued earlier Friday for the three, and that they each face charges of making false statements for telling officers that Petruzielo attempted to run them over after a School Board meeting in June.
Only last month, Kelly Marlow, a tea party enthusiast elected to the board last year, filed a formal complaint to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, charging that the system’s school superintendent is insubordinate, and that the newly elected board chairman, Janet Read, has allowed him to run roughshod through meetings.
