Threatening Calls Lead to Arrest in Lexington County

In a rather unsettling development, a 56-year-old man from Appling, Georgia, has found himself on the wrong side of the law after making a threatening phone call to a public official in Lexington County. Michael Lee Gaskins allegedly directed a menacing message towards Officer Cirencione on February 2, which included some pretty explicit threats. It’s concerning behavior that not only raises eyebrows but also directly violates the South Carolina Code of Law concerning threats made against public officials.

The call sparked immediate action, and Gaskins was charged accordingly. He has since been booked into the Lexington County Detention Center where he will await further legal proceedings. It’s a reminder of how seriously threats against those who serve our communities are taken and the legal repercussions that can follow.
