Simpsonville City Councilwoman said ejection violated fourth ammendment
Simpsonville City Councilwoman Sylvia Lockaby claims her rights were violated when Mayor Janice Curtis had her removed from Tuesday's Simpsonville City Council meeting.
"I contacted the Municipal Association and talked to the Appalachian Council of Government," Lockaby said Thursday. "What she did was wrong, totally wrong. She violated my Fourth Amendment rights.
