After looking closer, the deputy reportedly noticed two handguns on the floorboard and arrested the vehicle's owner, Travis Alexander Harrison, 19, of 263 Orangeburg Manor. The weapons were then checked for registration, during which it was discovered one of the weapons was stolen from the OCSO while the second handgun belonged to a Whittaker Parkway woman.

We apologize for the error. COLUMBIA (AP) Corrinne Koenig says she's been unfairly treated in prison because she struck and killed the daughter of U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond in an alcohol-related driving accident in April 1993. Koenig was sentenced to 2-12 years in prison after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter this past September.

Police said her blood alcohol level was .16 at the time of the accident. The state's legal limit is .10. Koenig was rejected for furlough this past week after Thurmond's children objected. She goes before the parole board Wednesday. "It makes you feel pretty small because it's so political," Koenig told WIS-TV Monday.

'You're so small that you can't fight against them." Koenig said she would never forget hitting 22-year-old Nancy Moore Thurmond as the young woman crossed a Columbia street. She also said she didn't need to be locked up for the accidental death.
