Ware Shoals, SC (TLS). Greenwood County, South Carolina law enforcement officials stated late today that they had completed their investigation into obstruction on the part of Ware Shoals High School Principal Jane Blackwell. Their conclusions have been sent to SLED--the State Law Enforcement Division in Columbia, SC.
Blackwell was arrested as part of the investigation into former Ware Shoals Cheerleader Coach Jill Moore, who was charged with giving alcohol and cigarettes to minors off school property after ball games. Moore also allegedly got several cheerleaders out of class during the school day to go with her to a local motel for sex with two S.C. National Guardsmen, both of whom have been disciplined and re-assigned.
The charges against Blackwell stemmed from statements by several students at Ware Shoals High School who reported that the principal instructed them not to speak to anyone concerning the Jill Moore case. The students told law enforcement officials that they took the instructions to mean they were forbidden to speak to investigators about what they knew about Jill Moore and the cheerleaders.
Blackwell, however, strongly disputes the students' interpretation of her words, insisting that she merely did not want students engaging in gossip around school--gossip that could interfere with an ongoing police investigation.
Greenwood County law enforcement officials state that Blackwell possessed information concerning Moore that should have been turned over to investigators.
The Ware Shoals School Board invited Blackwell to give her side of the story. Blackwell has agreed to appear before the Board and school district officials this coming Friday, April 6, at 9 AM, at the Ware Shoals High School gymnasium. This meeting is NOT open to the general public.
As always, The Liberty Sphere will alert you to further updates.
