Man Arrested for Lying About Having Coronavirus

Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright said Thursday that a man will face multiple charges after lying about testing positive for coronavirus.

Wright said Jeffery Travis Long worked at Sitel in Inman. The sheriff said the business was shut down and evacuated after Long provided a forged letter claiming he had the virus.

“He just wanted a two week vacation,” Wright said of the suspect.

Wright said Inman police charged Long with breach of peace and forgery. The sheriff’s office will also file an additional count of forgery, Wright said.

Long was granted a $10,000 bond and fined $200. (Read more from “Man Arrested for Lying About Having Coronavirus” HERE)
