Pawley's Island Developer Arrested for Grand Larceny
Grand Larceny is the theft of someone's property, including money, over a $1000. Upon conviction, the person is guilty of a felony and can be fined and also imprisoned for up to five years if the value of the property is more than $1000 but less than $5000 or up to 10 years if the value of the property is $5000 or more.
Edwin Scott Trotter, a local developer has been charged with grand larceny. Allegedly three board members of the Litchfield Plantation Association stated to the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office that Trotter stole promissory and mortgage notes from the association. The three witnesses said in the police report that Trotter, who was the former president of the association, had assigned all of the mortgage and promissory notes to his company, the Litchfield Plantation Buyout Group.
Last week Trotter was arrested and charged with grand larceny, $10,000 or more which means he could be fined and spend up to 10 years in state prison. Trotter will need a good South Carolina criminal lawyer to represent him on this charge.
