South Carolina U.S. Attorney Sherri Lydon Adds More Federal Prosecutors in Columbia, Greenville, and Florence

Columbia, South Carolina---- Quickly focusing her efforts on providing local, state, and federal law enforcement more resources in the collective effort to secure communities across the state, United States Attorney Sherri A. Lydon has added four new Assistant United States Attorneys to her staff within a matter of weeks.  A fifth is slated to start in mid-October.  “Following Attorney General Sessions’ lead on our renewed efforts to combat violent crime, we have quickly responded to the call.  With, soon to be, five new federal prosecutors in three of our four offices in a span of just weeks underscores our dedication to the safety of South Carolinians.”

Sloan P. Ellis joined the Greenville US Attorney’s office on August 20, 2018.  Ellis will focus on Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Taskforce cases (OCDETF).  On October 1, 2018, Tina M. Cundari joined the Affirmative Civil Enforcement (ACE) housed within the Civil Division of the US Attorney’s Office in Columbia.  Justin W. Holloway and Derek A. Shoemake, both sworn in just this morning in a ceremony in federal court in Florence, officially joined the Florence office also on October 1.  Holloway and Shoemake will focus their efforts on violent crime prosecutions in the greater Pee Dee and Myrtle Beach region.
