WWAY has been on Senator RC Soles sore bottom since they were first handed a report regarding Sen. Soles beating a kid off with his shoe and then attempting to run him over. The police did not charge Sen. Soles but instead charged a 16 year old boy with stealing a light bulb from the Senator and later charged the kid with blackmailing the Senator. The boy, a 16 year old kid with some troubles that the good senator helped to deal with, told the senator that he would go to the news with stories that would ruin the senator's career. The Senator had the kid, Allen Strickland, arrested and the kid said, "see you in prison" So apparently the kid is talking about first hand knowledge of criminal behavior committed by the Senator and not just juicy porno tapes or pictures incriminating the Senator in some gay sex act.
Betty Fennell, retired investigative reporter and the senator's opponent, went to a campaign breakfast the senator held in Pender County yesterday to ask him in front of the media if the senator can confirm or deny whether or not the senator is under a federal grand jury investigation and whether or not he told Senator Mark Basnight he would be under indictment after the election. Senator Soles didn't not confirm or deny, he did counter accuse Fennell of contacting the 16 yr old Strickland and offering him money for information. A charge Fennell flat out denied.
All this will soon come out but in the meantime the Wilmington Star News in their report of this event held at the N.C. Cooperative Extension in Burgaw, at 801 S. Walker St. said,
In a news release sent later in the day, Soles said, "I came here today to hear from concerned citizens. Anyone who takes time from their day to come and share their thoughts with representatives of their state government should be commended, and I wish my political opponent would have thought better than to impede what I considered to be my community office hours for her own political purposes."Is campaigning on government property permitted? Can a candidate for for Judge or DA go into the courthouse and hand out bumper stickers without being in violation of the NC Election Laws? Someone will have to look that up for me because I can't find it.
But Fennell said Soles was the one using the county space and time to campaign, as there were campaign stickers passed out to constituents during the meeting.
"Clearly this is a political event held in a county building," she said. "I think this sort of thing should be stopped."
If it is a violation then both Sen. Boseman and Sen. Soles will be under investigation at the same time.

you must be republicans ive never seen so much Carl Rove hate in my life. What is it that obsesses you so much about gay people. Its their private business and last I checked concentual sex with a 16 year old is legal. And it was a breakfast not a fund raiser and politicians can speak at a breakfast.
Go back to where you came from you facist!
You're misinformed. I'm not gay and I'm not republican. Neither are offensive but scumbags like RC Soles and Boseman should be removed from office and booked when they break the law...just like everyone else!
State senator, legal clients clash

TABOR CITY — State Sen. R.C. Soles Jr. was accused of spraying one of his legal clients in the face with pepper spray on Sunday, one month after fending off an attack by the same man with a shoe, according to police reports.
No charges were filed in Sunday’s incident.
The confrontation was the most recent between Soles and some of his current and former legal clients, according to police reports.
Soles, a Democrat, has a law practice in Tabor City.
Over the past month, police have been called to Soles’ home to look into complaints of clients loitering or trying to contact the lawmaker away from his law practice.
The only incident to result in charges was July 25. Stacy Ostten Scott was later charged with filing a false report, police said. Scott spent a day in jail, according to police and court records. Scott is 26 and lives on Willoughby Road.
On Sunday, Scott told 911 dispatchers and police that he had crossed the fence at Soles’ Canal Street home, knocked on the door, and was sprayed in the face by Soles when the senator opened the door.
Scott walked to the Tabor City Emergency Services building on Jones Street seeking help from the pepper spray, a police report said. Scott told the officer that he had been drinking and was on medication.
Police were unable to contact Soles.
Efforts to reach Soles for comment on this story were not successful.
This was the second confrontation between Scott and Soles.
Soles called police July 25 after a confrontation that ended with Soles allegedly hitting Scott with a shoe. Scott initially told police that Soles hit him with a car, but surveillance tapes from the Soles property showed that was not true, according to a police report.
Soles declined to press charges, but a detective later obtained a warrant charging Scott with filing a false report. The warrant was served on Scott early Sunday.
Scott spent most of the day in jail before being released on a $500 bond.
Earlier this month, Soles summoned police to report former clients yelling at him and threatening him as he drove by a Pireway Road home. Police said they spoke with the men, and they agreed to leave Soles alone.
On Monday, a patrol officer noticed a vehicle outside Soles’ home. Soles told the officer it was a client who wanted to talk about a case.
Soles asked the officer to tell the man that he should not come to his home, and that he would speak with him during the day. The officer asked the man to leave and he did.
