Kerry Trent Kinard, 49, was arrested on a federal criminal complaint of making false statements while trying to buy a firearm, according to U. Attorney Peter McCoy Jr.
According to the complaint, Kinard on Dec. Kinard falsely told an employee of the federally-licensed firearms dealer he was not under any indictments and not subject to a protective order, McCoy says. A grand jury issued seven felony indictments against Kinard in November for his sexual abuse of children charges, and a South Carolina Family Court judge issued a protective restraining order against Kinard related to the case in October, court records show. Kinard is scheduled for a hearing on Dec.
At the time of publication, Kinard was in custody. Henry McMaster has already suspended Kinard from his duties as a Bamberg County councilmember for his sexual misconduct charges.
