But Scott also had a problem that kept him looking over his shoulder: The father of four had fallen behind, again, on his child support payments. Failure to pay can mean jail time in South Carolina, and Scott had been locked up three times since 2008.

Yeah, that one sticky problem kept him from having an ideal life, sheesh.

My question is...did he run out of the restaurant before paying the check?

I always wanted to try Benihana, but...

...new car, dining out with a huge group at a Japanese steak house, yet couldn’t seem to find the money to pay for his children.

Seems like a priorities problem there. But hey, even for all of that, he would still be alive today if he hadn’t tried to run from police.

So, preventable problems (pay the child support instead of buying a new car), don’t run from police, and he would still be alive today.

' Other Charleston County court records show Scott had several traffic tickets and three trips to jail in 2008, 2011 and 2012 for owing between $3,500 and $7,500 in child support.

At the time he was pulled over, Scott owed more than $18,000 in child support and court fees. He last paid child support in 2012 and a bench warrant for his arrest was issued in early 2013.'

Yet he could afford that Mercedes Benz he was driving..makes you wonder what was the real story about that car..when he was pulled over he told the cop two different versions of how he got that car

three trips to jail in 2008, 2011 and 2012 for owing between $3,500 and $7,500 in child support.

I'm not sure I understand this.

I can see jail for withholding money that you have (like you're earning good money and refusing to pay)... but what if you just don't have it?

Isn't that the same as debtors' prison?

And how does throwing a delinquent unemployed father in jail help get money to the mother?

Not sure I see the logic here.

[PAR35]

I’ll bet the tip wasn’t much.

Would you want to be the next diner to eat where these folks were stomping on the table?

[dfwgator]

Look the cop probably murdered the guy, but it’s not like this guy was a model citizen.

[Kid Shelleen]

I think the cop is guilty of murder but the left will over play their hand as usual and make this guy out to be the next Medgar Evers (Or as Hillary would say Medgar Evans).
