COLUMBIA, S.C. - The state treasurer, suspended after an
indictment last week on a cocaine distribution charge, has
entered a 30-day rehabilitation program in Arizona, according
to a court document filed Thursday.
A lawyer for Treasurer Thomas Ravenel said in a letter to the
judge that Ravenel will not attend his July 9 court appearance
because he is in rehab.
The letter to Magistrate Joseph McCrorey was accompanied
by a note from Ravenel's doctor, who referred him to rehab.
Neither said when Ravenel began his treatment or provided
further details.
A message left for Ravenel attorney's, Bart Daniel, was not
returned Thursday.
