Seneca Recreation Department Officials Dismissed for Alleged Misconduct

City administrator Scott Moulder confirmed the dismissal of Recreation Director Rick Lacey and Athletic Director Terry Mulikin due to ‘misconduct’. This followed an investigation revealing financial irregularities in the admission fees from a county basketball tournament held over two recent weekends. The finance department received a significantly lower amount than expected from the Recreation Department, leading to nearly $100,000 unaccounted for this year. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) assisted with the investigation, which is ongoing. The incident has prompted changes to better safeguard against similar future occurrences.
