The judge gave the camp until February 5 to comply.
SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. - A large Confederate flag flying near a busy interstate will be taken down following a court ruling., a large Confederate flag that was being flown from a 120-foot-tall flagpole on a property belonging to the Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp #68 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, has come down.
The report states that the flag, which was being flown near Interstate 85, was the subject of a Notice of Violation in October 2022, which was issued by the county. Officials ordered the Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp #68 to either lower the flag to 30 feet and display a flag that does not exceed five by eight feet or remove the flagpole altogether, according to WHNS. The camp made the decision to appeal the violation in January 2023 to the Zoning Board, which reportedly sided with the camp initially, per the report. The county then appealed that decision to the circuit court, which reversed the board's decision in February 2024, leading to the camp appealing to the South Carolina Court of Appeals. The decision of the appeals court is still pending, according to the report. Documents reviewed by WHNS reportedly show that the camp filed a "Motion to Alter or Amend" on January 7, asking the court to reconsider the decision made on December 29, 2025. That motion was reportedly denied by a judge on January 29, 2026. According to the outlet, the judge was concerned with what the camp did not disclose and criticized the camp for not informing local officials of the flagpole's height while disclosing it to the Federal Aviation Administration, going on to describe the camp as operating without "clean hands."The judge gave the camp until February 5 to comply, and an attorney representing the Sons of Confederate Veterans confirmed the flag was taken down before the deadline and that it will stay down for now, WHNS reported.SAN ANTONIO - A trucker was grazed by a stray bullet after a shooting in the parking lot of a 24-hour ladies club.Initial findings released in death of football player during practice SAN ANTONIO — As the community mourns the loss of Stevens High School junior Jaren Lawson, questions are being raised about medical preparedness and safety protSAN ANTONIO - Love was in the air as a record-breaking 154 couples said “I do” at midnight on Valentine’s Day at the Bexar County courthouse.According to the co
