Boyfriend Of Missing South Carolina Woman Now Facing Federal Charges
The South Carolina man already facing local charges in the case of a missing Spartanburg County woman is now facing federal charges, according to reports.
Da’ron Collins was charged in Spartanburg County in June with grand larceny and obstructing justice in the case of 44-year-old Casey Lavonne Young, who was last seen May 15.
On Thursday, a federal grand jury in Greenville returned a two-count indictment against Collins for obstruction of justice and witness tampering.
The indictment alleges that Collins knowingly obstructed the investigation of a matter within the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice, that is, kidnapping and that Collins knowingly engaged in misleading conduct towards another person with the intent to hinder, delay, and prevent the communication of information relating to the commission and possible commission of a federal offense to a law enforcement officer and a judge of the United States.
Collins faces a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment for each count and is currently being held in the Spartanburg County Detention Center. A detention hearing is scheduled for Nov. 21 at 10:00 a.m.
The case is being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Leesa Washington is prosecuting the case.
