An Anderson County man is set to spend more than 5 years behind bars for presenting a fake covid test result in court. The State Attorney General's Office says, 45 year old Orin J. Kemp of Pendelton pleaded guilty earlier this week to a charge of Obstructing Justice.
That charge came after Kemp presented a false positive on a covid test in a Greenville County court in April of last year. The AG's Office says, Kemp did so in an attempt to get a continuance and prevent his bond from being revoked on other charges.
Kemp has been sentenced to 6 years in prison and will have to serve 85 percent of his time before being eligible for early release.
