A South Carolina Grand Strand resident received a six month sentence in Laurens County Family Court yesterday. 50-year-old Richey A. Scott of 213 Wildwood Place, Murrells Inlet was sentenced for Contempt of Family Court. Judge John Rucker III yesterday noted that Mr. Scott was ordered on May 31st, 2013 to pay the plaintiff the sum of $3,422.42 at the rate of $220 per month until paid in full and also to pay attorney fees for the Plaintiff in the amount of $1,500 within 90 days; and that the defendant has made no payments toward these. The Court finds that the failure to pay was willful. Therefore, it was ordered yesterday that the defendant be sentenced to 6 months in the Laurens County Jail, provided that he may purge himself of the Contempt by paying $5,222.40. Richey Scott remained in the Johnson Detention Center this morning.
