Hall, police accounts differ greatly

Although Berlin mayoral hopeful and District 2 Councilwoman Lisa Hall admitted this week that she was charged in April with possession of flunitrazepam in South Carolina, police records say that was not the case.

Hall, according to law enforcement officials in Charleston County, was charged with marijuana possession on April 29. Prescription medications, illegal or otherwise, were not involved.

Information on that arrest sent to local media this week was apparently misunderstood, leading some to conclude erroneously that Hall had been charged with possession of the flunitrazepam, also known as Rohypnol, and which cannot be purchased legally in this country.

The error resulted from an apparent misinterpretation of the standardized charging documents, which list multiple drug classifications as well as flunitrazepam.

On Monday, however, Hall responded to the misguided speculation and said, “I was in South Carolina and I got stopped and I had a plastic bag ... this was back in April and I paid the ticket and never went back there. I don’t know why they waited until now to bring it up.”

She completely and totally lied. Wow. I can't understand why people in office or running a election lie about things that can be looked up. Hillary Clinton does it constantly. It's weird to me.

All politicians lie they just always seem to think everybody is stupid. The only one who didn't lie was George W Busch about his DWI in Maine he said he wasn't proud of that but it happened and that was the end of it. It never came up again.

Well she sure appears to be a politician. When words come out of her they are false. She should win for sure being qualified, been watching the female presidential candidate. Is she democrat, republican, independent or what?

Well then, did it happen to contain some marijuana?
Possibly?

Really funny.

10:39 The main reason is because that there are a lot of idiots that just take their word for it and don't bother to look it up.

During the debate Hillary knew that people would just believe her and would not bother to look into any falsehoods she tried to spread. That is the sad part about America today.

I told everyone on this site that there was more to the story and that she sounded to me like another lying Clinton. Seems I was correct. I bet there is still more to the story to come. It is hard to confuse a traffic stop with an encounter at a hotel. If the people of Berlin are smart they will steer clear of this woman.

Well if you are fricken stoned, you might forget what really happened. No one cares about some itty bitty town mayor. And no one cares about marijuana.

Again more of gee Williams connections to the local press putting spin on things to help him

3:05 if no one cares why did you read the story and then comment. Duh.
I don't live in Berlin but it seems that the town has had more positive national exposure in the papers with the current mayor then at any other time.

@4:29. Well no wonder there aren't bad stories on the current mayor. His corruption, Payoffs and misdeeds are covered up by the same scumbags that are going out of their way to attack anyone who would dare oppose the incumbent. His public drunkenness and shenanigans surely never is exposed in the local paper.

Gee Williams is that you again?

Gee Williams filed for Bankruptcy and no one is making an issue out of that. I will take a pot smoker over someone who cheats his creditors.

Guess what he will do with our tax money.

4:15 probably the same things that have been done with the towns tax money for the last eight years without any obvious ill effects. Trump filed for bankruptcy through one of his corporations, does that make him unqualified to be President? No!! Go back in your hole troll.

Well if the current mayor has any class he would come out and disavow what the paper did. This was a pure smear campaign with no other agenda. But he probably doesn't have the balls for that or he's too drunk to care about pot.
