Scott County Grand Jury to Consider Charges Against South Carolina Fugitive

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (LEX 18) — The South Carolina fugitive who was finally arrested in Scott County appeared in court Tuesday afternoon.

Nathan Ginter, 43, was wanted for failure to appear in court and unlawful conduct of a child in South Carolina.

According to U.S. Marshals, Ginter is accused of torturing his child by waterboarding him and using a taser on him.

Ginter and his accomplice, Riley Pearson, had been on the run in Kentucky for several days but were eventually located between Cynthiana and Georgetown by the Scott County Sheriff’s Office.

When he was found, authorities said Ginter had two AR-15s, two handguns, $60,000 in cash and 16 fake IDs.

He was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, criminal possession of a forged instrument, among other charges.

In court, his South Carolina case was extradited to South Carolina, and his Kentucky case was sent to a Scott County grand jury.

Counts one through four of Ginter’s latest charges, related to handguns and firearms, were dismissed.

Ginter is being held at the Scott County Detention Center on $10,000 cash bail.
