The man accused of stealing a Lancaster woman's van with her two children still inside last week has an extensive criminal record.

Phillip Keith Sims, 29, of 3346 Pageland Highway, is charged with carjacking, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, two counts of kidnapping and resisting arrest in connection with the incident in the Kmart parking lot on May 29.

According to State Law Enforcement Division records, Sims is no stranger to the law.

I am writing this letter to the person who hit our dog on the morning of May 30. Our pet, Jake, a chocolate lab, got out of his pen and crossed the road in the Midway Community located on S.C. 903. My husband was parked at the end of our road, calling Jake back. Jake stopped at the yellow line. A car was coming at a high rate of speed and hit Jake. The car didn’t even stop to offer a helping hand or to even apologize. My husband watched in horror as our dog yelled in pain.

I want to know how all the service stations can raise the price of gas every time the price goes up. How is it that they can buy the gas at one price and keep raising the price before they fill up again. Some of them say they don’t raise the price until they get more gas. I know that is not true because I saw four stores change prices before getting refills. And they say they don’t make any money off of gas. Who do they think they are fooling? There should be a law against stores raising gas prices before they get refills.
