US Edition4 Horry County Police Officers Resign Following Internal Investigation Findings; County’s Lead Spokesperson Also Resigns
Four officers and a spokeswoman resigned after an internal investigation revealed multiple violations of conduct related to sexual relationships among coworkers.
- On November 6, 2025, four Horry County Police Department officers—Sgt. Torry Lewis, Detective Don Kobithen, Investigator Kelsey Manemeit, and Lt. Misty Gore—and spokeswoman Mikayla Moskov resigned following an internal review.
- After being alerted Oct. 27, Horry County Police Department opened an IA investigation into internal personnel matters that found code-of-conduct violations linked to a relationship between Sgt. Torry Lewis and investigator Kelsey Manemeit.
- Investigators detailed overlapping sexual relationships among staff, finding Kelsey Manemeit had a relationship with Don Kobithen while married, and Torry Lewis had relationships with Misty Gore and Mikayla Moskov, sustaining `conduct unbecoming` violations.
- The report says the revelations prompted five resignations this week, following Randy Webster's Nov. 3 retirement after more than 36 years, straining the Horry County Police Department's reputation.
- The Office of the Chiefs requested an inquiry by OPS, which produced the internal report cover sheet released Friday night; multiple FOIA requests have been submitted and officials said departures are not related to external criminal cases.
