Thad Viers in court represented by fellow South Carolina State Representative Todd Rutherford, on charges of harassment.

Viers was fined $500 in 2007 for making harassing phone calls to his estranged wife. He released a statement that said

"I and those around me lost our tempers and exercised poor judgment," said Viers, a Republican who represents the Myrtle Beach area. "In most of our lives, we can point to a time where as it relates to matters of the heart our emotions override our good sense. These events represent that for me and I look forward to moving on with my life."[1]

His wife's current boyfriend, James Ziegler, said that Viers' former lover was so afraid that he slept cradling a shotgun.
