Former Carolina Panther and cop Scurlock approved as York County magistrate

The days of chasing fleeing wide receivers and fleeing criminals are over for former cop and Carolina Panther Michael Scurlock. Now Scurlock will have those he needs to see brought to him.

Scurlock was approved Wednesday by the S.C. Senate as York County’s newest magistrate judge. His appointment to the bench came after a nomination by state Sen. Wes Climer, R-Rock Hill and acceptance by Gov. Henry McMaster.

Scurlock joins Chisa Putman, sworn in last week after nomination by Climer, as the only two black magistrates in York County among 11 judges.
