Orange looks good on him:
The former executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party was arrested Monday on a criminal domestic violence charge.
James John Todd Kincannon, 33, was booked into the Lexington County Detention Center Monday evening.
An arrest warrant alleges that Kincannon’s wife, stated to deputies that she was involved in an altercation on March 26 with Kincannon, who became angry at her after they left an event, Lexington County Sheriff Lewis McCarty said.
While Kincannon drove a motor vehicle on St. Andrews Road and Harbison Boulevard near Irmo, the victim stated to deputies that Kincannon yelled at her, including the use of profanity, McCarty said.
McCarty said the victim told deputies that she lowered her window and yelled at passing motorists to help her while she pleaded with Kincannon to stop the vehicle.
The arrest warrant further alleges that Griffith stated to deputies that Kincannon began driving the motor vehicle erratically and avoiding traffic lights while driving at a high rate of speed, McCarty said.
Asshole.

That is some punchable real estate there, that is.

I read another story about this that said that the wife had recorded hours of abuse. Hopefully he’s not going to recover from this one.
I can only imagine how well he’ll get along with others in prison.

It’s well past the time that this jerk received some of what he’s been dishing out to others. Why his wife put up with his BS for so long is beyond my ability to understand. The minute he left for work one day, I’d have been gone, never to return.

Isn’t this like a guaranteed stamp of assholishness to name a kid like this?

He will be squealing like a pig very soon, I predict. And justifiably so.

@Corner Stone: Yes. Often it’s the “Todd”. Seems like most of the people I know named Todd are kind of douchey.

“Avoiding” traffic lights?
Is that like running red lights? Or was he not participating in the fine South Carolina tradition of colliding with traffic lights?
An asshole either way.

@Mike E: Well not now, amigo. But I have been blessed to personally watch JR, Nolan, Roger Clemens, Mike Scott, Big Unit, Oswald, and a few others take the mound with my team’s uni on their backs.
But, yeah. Fuck this current owner asshole with his double A mentality and payroll.

@Suzanne: So I googled Todd Wayne, crime, and ended up with a Todd Wayne Easter (so timely!) in prison for agg robbery in TX, and 2 other Todd Wayne + last name who were both sex offenders. Probably not their fault, their unwitting parents doomed them with the moniker.

I don’t think yelling is going to be involved in the charges, probably the kidnapping

I’m just going to stare at those words for a while and let them think about what they’ve done wrong.

I am confused. He is White. He is a Republican. He is probably financially well off. And they have arrested him because his woman got hysterical? I am just struggling to understand how this can have happened in contemporary America. This sort of thing just doesn’t happen to someone who is of the Holy Trinity: White; Republican; Rich.
Cermet
@efgoldman: So would most of us – but I think the abuse run’s deeper here; still, I guess people with cell phones called the police when they saw a woman calling for help from the car. Wouldn’t you? He had no right to drive like a nutcase endangering her, others and himself. Amazed too, like others, that a white, rich, male and right-wing nutcase can be arrested in the too big to be an insane asylum called South Carolina … wait, I bet he told the cop off.
