The troubles continue for state Senator R.C. Soles.
Mr. Soles has a law practice in the Columbus County town of Tabor City, and has recently had a number of run-ins with clients and ex-clients.
Since our first report aired last Thursday, Mr. Soles has pepper sprayed a client who showed up at his house. The client, Stacey Scott, walked to the Tabor City Emergency Services Building for help.
Police say another client of Mr. Soles, 16-year-old Allen Strickland, trespassed on the Senator's property on two separate occasions over the last few weeks, and stole a light fixture.
Police say Strickland learned Soles was considering pressing charges and threatened to call NewsChannel 3, the FBI, and Bettie Fennell, who is Soles' political challenger, with damaging information regarding Soles. He threatened to ruin Soles' political career and said he would see him in prison.
In response to that call, police arrested Strickland on charges of extortion. They also arrested another client of R.C. Soles, Ervin Jordan, who they say worked as an accomplice with Allen Strickland to steal the Senator's light fixture.
In a press release issued today, Mr. Soles said some of his clients have fallen on hard times, and were venting their frustrations on him.
Senator Soles said he did what was necessary to protect his property.

Another typical democrat - don't do what I do - do what I say! Anti-gun activist but he has one for his own defense. I cannot stand a hypocrite and I'm beginning to believe more and more that politicians are the lowest of the low (with the exception of a few). They rate even lower than defense lawyers - oh wait, he is a lawyer- why am I not surprised? What is it about people in this country that makes them suddenly seem so accepting of politicians' disgusting behavior? It used to be a bad thing to have no morals or values - but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Terrible, terrible shame.
WE reap what we sow. Why do
WE reap what we sow. Why do the people of southeastern NC keep electing this creep!!
Either the people of
Either the people of Columbus County have closed their eyes as to that Soles has been up to for many, many years or they are truly ignorant. There is a reason he is always helping "boys" and it is not out of the goodness of his heart.
Now RC has Shot one of his Former Clients
It looks bad when the unmarried old man who has a lot of teen boys hanging around his place has to shoot one of them on his front porch.
HYPOCRITE!
Typical liberal democrat. Here this sorry excuse for an elected official has been lobbying against gun ownership - avidly - for years. He then uses one to protect himself by shooting a person! The very rights he has fought to deny people were what he had to use to defend himself.
His anti-American record has now come back to haunt him. I am glad he is physically safe, but I hope his past now makes it a rough ride for him to live down. His preference to deny citizens a basic, Constitutional right, while reserving it for himself, are typical practices of people with a liberal mindset. He just was caught by reality slapping him in the face.
Shame
What in the world is this all about? i think someone knows something and is hanging it over RC's head!
Further reason to never vote in the incumbent,one chance and then out.The longer a politician serves the more corrupt they become.Experience only means more money in their pockets and less work for the people!
Remember this during elections!
