also known as Steve Denton
I was formerly a narcotics and vice squad officer in the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Department. I worked my way in to homicide investigations before I retired from law enforcement. When I was 43 I went to law school, ventured over to the other side of the courtroom, and I now represent defendants.
I was recently interviewed by Fox Carolina's Sharon Johnson becuase of my background with the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Department, including serving in homicide investigations. You can view that interview here:
