South Carolina Woman Arrested For Using The F-Word In Grocery Store
In South Carolina it’s apparently illegal to drop the F-Bomb. A mother is facing charges after a witness alleges she used profanity toward her children. It was just three weeks ago that Danielle Wolf moved to South Carolina with her family and now she wants to move back to Ohio.
“He was like, ‘You’re under arrest’…right in front of kids, in front of my husband, in front of customers.” Wolf said in reference to the North Augusta Department of Public Safety who arrested her.

Wolf was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct at a Kroger store.
WSAV reports that Wolf said a woman who was shopping in the store started following her and her family. “She’s like, ‘you said the f-word’, and I’m like, ‘when did I say this to my kids?”
Wolf was shopping at Kroger with her kids, going down the bread aisle, when her family members kept squeezing the bread and that’s when she said the word that got her arrested, according to the incident report.
“It’s seems a little extreme,” Amy Sawicz said, a regular shopper at the store.
Another shopper, Terry Hunt said, “parents, we don’t guide our children in the proper way.”
According to Wolf, that’s not what happened. “She’s like, ‘you told that they were smashing the bread’, and I said ‘no’ I said that to my husband, that he was smashing the bread by throwing the frozen pizzas on top of it,” Wolf said.
WSAV explains that North Augusta law states that disorderly conduct generally means, to “utter, while in a state of anger, in the presence of another, any bawdy, lewd or obscene words or epithets.”
Wolf said later on the woman said she didn’t want her arrested.
“I didn’t harm nobody. I didn’t hurt nobody. The lady said she was having a bad day. So, because you’re having a bad day you’re going to ruin somebody’s life,” Wolf said.
According to the woman who claimed she witnessed the incident, she saw Wolf use the f-word repeatedly and Wolf started cursing at her after she approached Wolf.
The woman added that she wasn’t having a bad day and that hearing Wolf use the F-word brought her back to her abusive childhood. I wonder if this woman is also opposed to Big Government.

South Carolina, the land of limited government?
Can’t say it and if you do it, it had best be in a manner approved by the state.

In fact, we still have laws against sodomy in several states – Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Utah.

Stop using the expression “F-bomb.” It’s a word, not a bomb. Bombs kill people.

clearly words can really hurt you in good old South Carolina

States that let their residents leave loaded firearms lying around so children can shoot each other with no repercussions shouldn’t be arresting people for saying f**k. If I was a citizen of SC I’d be screaming it at the governor every hour.

Did the South Carolina word police block HBO’s “The Sopranos”?

This was a local ordinance, not a state law. Most of the comments are railing on South Carolina. It falls under a “community standard” ordinance and should be addressed at the local level. If it is an outdated law that no longer reflects the town’s standards, then let the locals vote it out of existence. Be careful not to acquiesce all power to the state and federal behemoths, keep some power in the hands of local government. If it is a stupid law, let smart people who have skin in the game change it.

Small town small minds, minding someone else’s business again. Another reason not to live in Nimrata Haley’s State of Stupid.

that was both sexist and racist

Nope, it’s the TRUTH! And it would be the truth no matter who the governor was.

This North Augusta statutes is patently unconstitutional as a clear violation of the First Amendment under all of the SCOTUS precedents. I think after it is dismissed she should seek to bring a lawsuit—say for one million dollars, against the North Augusta municipality…and settle for around $75,000. There is virtually no question that this statute will be held on its face and by construal unconstitutional. Attorneys reading this will note even the “fighting words” doctrinal exception wouldn’t be applicable here.

S.C. would put me in the can for life, if you don’t swear in the military you can’t be understood…
Jeff Allen August 15th, 2014 at 4:41 pm
what does any of that have to do with what I said?
Michael Hoos August 15th, 2014 at 5:24 pm
Local ordinances do not trump Constitutional free speech rights. Whether or not the local people with “skin in the game” change the law, the law is unenforceable, because it is unconstitutional.
Local or not, these kinds of laws do not exist in the North, because we aren’t busy-bodies who set the police on mothers shopping with their children. Southerners have busy-body down pat. Face it, Northerners drop F-bombs. It doesn’t fvcking hurt anybody.
Jeff Allen August 15th, 2014 at 5:32 pm
But laws are still laws until they are repealed. I’m not taking a side on how this should have been handled, just saying that barking at the Gov. or bashing South Carolina does nothing to effect a change in a local ordinance. It’s likely that the majority of North Augustans had no idea the law was on the books to begin with. It’s out there now, might be on the next town slate. In the meantime, the best case scenario involves a level headed town judge who will adjudicate this with common sense.
Michael Hoos August 15th, 2014 at 9:06 pm
There is such a thing as discretion that can be used by a police officer to decide whether or not to make an arrest. And barking at the government is actually a great way to change the law. This article is part of that barking. Hopefully you are right and a common sense judge rules appropriately.

This F’ ing cop is really the one who should be disciplined here. Easily a week suspension without pay. When some one carrying a gun doesn’t have enough sense to make a simple decision over a dispute short of being a bully, he needs a retraining.
