SLED won't answer whether agents followed body camera policy in 2019 hemp farm raid

DORCHESTER COUNTY, SC (Queen City News) — The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division executed a raid of a Lowcountry farm in September 2019 that ended with Trent Pendarvis’ arrest and the destruction of his $2 million hemp crop. SLED agents came from as far away as Columbia and Florence to help carry out the raid and arrest. Agents brought at least one body camera with them when they descended upon Pendarvis’ family farm near Harleyville. The SC Department of Agriculture awarded Pendarvis a hemp growers license six months before the raid, but after Pendarvis said he reported updated coordinates on an acreage amendment application, the SCDA denied his amendment and asked SLED for a criminal investigation.
