A former police officer was found guilty last week of sexual and misconduct charges and sentenced to 10 years in state prison during General Sessions Court in Hampton County.
On Thursday, after an hour and four minutes of deliberations, a Hampton County jury found Curtis Fields, 44, of 2095 Brookwood Dr., Hampton, guilty of criminal sexual conduct third and misconduct in office.
Judge Carmen Mullen accepted the verdict and sentenced Fields to 10 years in prison on each charge, with the sentences to be served concurrently.

ESTILL — A Hampton School District 2 Board official says that some “differences of opinion” between the board and the administration are ongoing, but insists that they are trying to resolve these issues for the benefit of the district and the overall good of the children.
While community members have expressed concerns over recent events in the district, Board Chairwoman Daisy Orr says there are simply some minor disagreements.
