Dogs found ‘chained in unlivable conditions’ in woods behind home, deputies say

IT’S 645, AND IT’S TIME FOR NEWS TO GO. WE BEGIN WITH CONTINUING COVERAGE OF THE ANNUAL RIDE TO END ALZHEIMER’S IN SOUTH CAROLINA. OUR PARELLA LEWIS IS JOINING US LIVE NOW IN SIMPSONVILLE, ALONG WITH SKY4, AS HUNDREDS OF CYCLISTS PREPARE FOR THE FIRST LEG OF THE RIDE, PARELLA AND ANNE. IT’S ALWAYS IT’S ALWAYS FUN TO HEAR SKY4 OVERS. YES, AND NEWMAN IS HERE NOW. ANNE NEWMAN IS THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF THE MORNING SHOW. BY THE WAY. YOU ALSO HELPED KIND OF PULL TOGETHER TEAM HEART STRONG. YOU HELPED CREATED THAT. JEFF RIDES WITH YOU. HOW ARE YOU? HOW’S JEFF? HOW HOW’S THE TEAM FEELING? TEAMS FEELING GOOD. THIS IS OUR THIRD YEAR DOING IT. WE’RE EXCITED. I’M STAYING HYDRATED. IT’S GOING TO BE A HOT DAY, BUT WE’RE READY TO TACKLE EACH DAY AND WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO RAISING MORE MONEY. WE’RE ACCEPTING DONATIONS TO THE END OF JULY AND THE RIDE OVERALL. SO FAR THIS YEAR HAS RAISED ALREADY OVER A MILLION DOLLARS, SO EVERYONE’S EXCITED AND LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT WEEKEND OF RIDING AND MAKING MEMORIES. AND I HAVE TO SAY, WORKING WITH HER, WE’RE ABLE TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF SNAPSHOT INTO JUST THE HARD WORK THAT GOES INTO THIS. YOU DON’T TAKE A DAY OFF. I KIND OF TAKE A DAY OFF, BUT YOU KNOW, MORE TIME IN THE SADDLE MAKES IT EASIER ON THE LEGS. BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST KEEP THE LEGS PEDALING THE KEY. THIS WEEKEND, OBVIOUSLY WITH THE HOT WEATHER, IS HYDRATION AND JUST STAYING ON TOP OF THAT. SO YEAH, BUT NO RAIN. SO THAT’S ALWAYS GOOD. THAT IS GOOD. TEAM HEART STRONG. SHE IS ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THIS TEAM. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FOR ALL THAT YOU’RE DOING. AND JEFF WE’LL SEE. WE’LL SEE YOU AT REST UP TO. YES. AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO’S DONATED. THANK YOU TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS. WITHOUT THEM, THIS RIDE WOULDN’T BE POSSIBLE. AND THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT OUT THERE. CHANNEL FOR VIEWERS. ALL RIGHT. NOT TOO LATE TO DONATE, BY THE WAY. HEY, SKY4 IS OVERHEAD. SKY4 IS GOING TO GIVE US AN EXCLUSIVE VIEW OF WHAT? WHAT WE CAN’T SHOW YOU. THERE’S A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS HERE. THERE’S A LOT OF CYCLISTS BEGINNING TO ARRIVE. THE WEATHER IS AMAZING, BY THE WAY. IT FEELS GOOD OUT HERE, RELATIVELY LOW LEVELS OF HUMIDITY RIGHT NOW. THEY WILL BE CYCLING INTO MORE HEAT AND HUMIDITY, BUT FOR WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, LOOKS AND FEELS PRETTY GOOD. CAN I JUST SAY THIS AGAIN? SO MUCH EXCITEMENT. EVERYONE IS HERE. THEY’RE SHOWING UP. THEY’RE READY TO DO THIS. THEY BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY’RE DOING AND THEY’RE DOING IT. AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU HELPING TO SUPPORT THESE FOLKS THAT PUT THEIR BODIES THROUGH THIS TORTURE. ALL YEAR LONG. AND THEN ULTIMATELY, FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS. OKAY. REPORTING LIVE HERE IN SIMPSONVILLE, WE WILL SEND IT BACK TO YOU IN THE STUDIO. BUT I THINK I’M THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. I BEAT HIM ONCE AND I WILL BEAT HIM AGAIN. I’M NOT IN THIS FOR MY LEGACY. I’M IN THIS TO COMPLETE THE JOB. I STARTED. PRESIDENT BIDEN CLOSING OUT THE NATO SUMMIT WHILE BATTLING AN OPEN QUESTION ABOUT HIS POLITICAL FUTURE IN HIS FIRST SOLO PRESS CONFERENCE IN EIGHT MONTHS, THE PRESIDENT DEFENDED HIS FITNESS FOR THE JOB, SAYING HIS TAKE IN THREE SIGNIFICANT AND INTENSE NEUROLOGICAL EXAMS. REACTION TO THE PRESS CONFERENCE WAS MIXED FROM CAPITOL HILL. A FEW MORE DEMOCRATS CALLED ON BIDEN TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE, BUT OTHERS PRAISED HIS PERFORMANCE AND COMMAND OF THE ISSUES. MEANWHILE, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS ASKED FOR HIS GUILTY VERDICT IN HIS HUSH MONEY TRIAL TO BE THROWN OUT. THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S REQUEST COMES AFTER THE SUPREME COURT’S RECENT IMMUNITY DECISION, WHICH OUTLINES WHEN A FORMER PRESIDENT MUST BE SHIELDED FROM PROSECUTION. THE BID HAS ALREADY SUCCEEDED IN GETTING TRUMP’S SENTENCING DATE POSTPONED. SENTENCING HAD BEEN SCHEDULED FOR YESTERDAY BUT WAS DELAYED. PROSECUTORS ARE EXPECTED TO RESPOND TO THE LATEST FILING BY JULY 24TH, AND THAT SENTENCING IS CURRENTLY SET FOR SEPTEMBER 18TH. FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS IS NOW SLATED TO SPEAK AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION NEXT WEEK IN MILWAUKEE, AFTER DROPPING OUT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE IN JANUARY. DESANTIS SAYS HE’S IN SUPPORT OF FUNDRAISING EFFORTS, AND HE’S BACKING FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN. THE RNC APPEARANCE ANNOUNCEMENT FOLLOWS PREVIOUS REPORTS THAT DESANTIS WAS NOT INITIALLY INVITED TO SPEAK AT THE CONVENTION. OBSERVERS SAY BACKLASH FROM HIS SUPPORTERS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE CHANGE MORE INFORMATION ON WHEN DESANTIS IS SET TO APPEAR HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET. AT 649, CHECK THIS OUT. S.C. DNR SAYS NOAA WILL OPEN RED SNAPPER TO RECREATIONAL HARVEST IN FEDERAL WATERS OFF THE COAST OF SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT YOUR ONLY CHANCE IS TODAY. OFFICIALS SAY THERE WILL BE NO SIZE LIMIT, BUT THERE WILL BE A BAG LIMIT OF ONE FISH PER PERSON. NO. OFFICIALS SAY THE PURPOSE OF THE LIMIT IS TO REDUCE OVERFISHING OF THE RED SNAPPER. THERE’S DIFFERENT LIMITS FOR COMMERCIAL FISHING. YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT THE FISHING RULES RIGHT NOW ON WYFF 4.COM SYDNEY. WELL, IF YOU PLAN TO BE OUT AND ABOUT TODAY, IT IS STILL GOING TO BE A HOT SUMMER’S DAY. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THE HUMIDITY IS NOT TOO BAD. IN FACT, WE ARE KICKING OFF THE DAY FAIRLY COMFORTABLE SITTING PRIMARILY IN THE UPPER 60S TO THE LOWER 70S. WE’LL SEE HIGHS BACK INTO THE LOWER 90S, BUT THIS IS RIGHT ON TRACK FOR WHERE WE SHOULD BE THIS TIME OF YEAR. THIS WILL COME WITH A FEW EXTRA AFTERNOON AND EVENING CLOUDS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, A NICE QUIET DAY. NOW FOR WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. SMALL CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR STORM, BUT OVERALL TRENDING NICE AND DRY TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS WILL TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 80S. NOW AREA WIDE THOUGH, WE’VE GOT A GORGEOUS START TO THE DAY. OUR SKYCAM NETWORK FEATURING THE BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE. WE ARE SITTING IN THE 60S TO THE LOWER 70S, BUT COMING UP I’LL HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AS TO WHERE OUR TEMPERATURES GO FROM HERE, AS WELL AS MAP OUT THAT NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN ACROSS THE AREA. LET’S GET A CHECK ON THE ROADS. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AT I-85 NORTHBOUND AT PELHAM ROAD IN GREENVILLE COUNTY. AGAIN, SLOWDOWNS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF A PROJECT. WE’LL TELL YOU ABOUT THAT IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS. BUT IF YOU’RE HEADED OUT THE DOOR, THIS MORNING, LEAVE EXTRA EARLY AS YOU’RE ON YOUR WAY THROUGH THAT AREA. TAKING A LOOK AT OUR TRAVEL TIMES I-240 TO ASHEVILLE HIGHWAY 12 MINUTE DRIVE AIRPORT TO WOODRUFF ROAD, 13 MINUTE COMMUTE AND THEN FAIRVIEW ROAD TO DOWNTOWN. YOU’RE LOOKING AT A 13 MINUTE DRIVE, SO THE SCDOT IS ACTUALLY SAYING THAT DRIVERS SHOULD LEAVE A FEW MINUTES EARLY THIS WEEK. AND IF YOU’RE TRAVELING THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE OF LANE CLOSURES AND DETOURS IN PLACE AS CREWS WORK ON THE ROCKY CREEK BRIDGE PROJECT THIS WEEK, TRAFFIC IN THE I-85 AND PELHAM ROAD AREA WILL BE REDIRECTED TO HIGHWAY 14. THIS WILL IMPACT I-85 SOUTH TODAY AND I-85 NORTH TOMORROW. WE’RE TOLD CREWS WILL REMOVE TEMPORARY BARRIERS AND PAINT TRAFFIC LANE LINES IN THEIR FINAL LOCATIONS. CDOT SAYS THE PROJECT WILL LIKELY BE COMPLETED THIS FALL. SUNDAY MORNING, WE WILL CONCLUDE OUR SERIES FOUR WAYS WE WIN ON. FOR THE RECORD, WITH A DISCUSSION ABOUT TRANSPORTATION. OUR NIGEL ROBERTSON IS TALKING WITH LEADERS OF THE UNITED WAY AND GREENVILLE CONNECTS. I WOULD LOVE TO WALK OUT OF MY HOUSE, WALK DOWN THE STREET, HOP ON A BUS AND COME INTO WORK. I WOULD LOVE THAT. YEAH. UM, HOW DO WE GET THERE? THAT’S VERY. WE HAVE A NICE LITTLE PLAN THAT WE’RE WORKING ON. SO GREENLINK, LIKE I SAID, IS REALLY, WELL RUN. AND THEY HAVE THIS REALLY GREAT PLAN CALLED THE TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT’S GOING TO ADD 15 ADDITIONAL ROUTES AND ALL THE ROUTES THAT WOULD TAKE THEM UP TO 27 ROUTES WOULD BE 30 MINUTE SERVICE. I WOULD BE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO RIDE THE BUS IF IT WAS MORE FREQUENT. JOIN US SUNDAY MORNING AT 1130 FOR THE FULL CONVERSATION ON TRANSPORTATION IN GREENVILLE COUNTY.
