Judgments entered against former police chief
A circuit judge has ordered civil judgments against a former Westminster police chief ordered by the court to make restitution to cover his criminal embezzlement crimes. A spokeswoman for the court says the order by Judge Maddox of Anderson consolidates previous criminal penalties into civil judgements. Four judgments against Johnny Scott Bannister amount to nearly $114,500 dollars. The order was handed down after Bannister appeared recently for probation proceedings.
