S.C. Woman Arrested For Doing Topless Jumping Jacks In Yard

PublishedMarch 13, 2024 4:33 PM EDT|UpdatedMarch 13, 2024 4:33 PM EDT

A South Carolina woman was arrested last weekend for doing jumping jacks topless in her front yard. The 27-year-old’s outdoor workout got the attention of neighbors due to the fact that she was screaming throughout.

Horry County police were called by one of Alexis Harnett’s neighbors a few days after the incident. The neighbor had witnessed her doing jumping jacks in her front yard while topless on the afternoon of March 2.

The neighbor did what anyone in that situation would do. He recorded his neighbor’s topless jumping jacks, waited a few days after doing so, then contacted the police. Why the delay? You can come to your own conclusions on that one.

When officers were finally called and arrived at his home, he showed them the video of Harnett’s attention-grabbing workout. Police noted that there’s no fence at the home or anything that would prevent people from seeing straight into her yard.

Harnett was charged with one count of obscene exposure. She was released from jail on Tuesday afternoon after posting a $10,000 bond. During her bond hearing on Sunday, a judge determined that she must be on home detention if she posted bond.

She is barred from having any contact with the victim, a neighbor who has two small children.

Not Surprising At All Is The Fact That This Is Far From Her First Issue With A Neighbor

This is far from Harnett’s first run-in with one of her neighbors or the court system. She’s due back in court later this month for an unrelated assault and battery charge.

Prosecutors have detailed Harnett’s and her boyfriend, Worden Butler’s history of alleged harassment of multiple neighbors. Harassment that has gone as far as burning a cross in an attempt to intimidate black neighbors.

The multiple issues with neighbors have resulted in an attempt by the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office to kick them out of the house they rent from Butler’s mother through a temporary injunction.

Living next to these two sounds like an absolute nightmare, minus the topless jumping jacks. On the list of things that they’ve allegedly done, it sounds like the noisy, clothing optional, workout would be way down towards the bottom.

I might even confuse it for an attempt at an apology with everything else that has gone on. An “I’m sorry” of sorts for the multiple issues that the couple is accused of causing. I’m not saying I’d accept the apology, but I feel like it’s at least a start.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Researchers and history buffs will soon have to plan around a temporary closure at the Charleston County Public Library’s Main Library as renovations approach.

The library’s South Carolina Room, located at the Main Library at 68 Calhoun St., will temporarily close to the public beginning May 1, as the building prepares for renovation later this year.

The South Carolina Room is expected to be unavailable for about eight to 10 weeks during the transition. During that time, services, collections and in-person research assistance will not be accessible.

It preserves and provides access to materials documenting the history and people of Charleston County and South Carolina, including historical documents, maps, photographs, manuscripts, newspapers and other archival resources used for scholarly research, family history and community exploration.

Why South Carolina is having a Darius Rucker concert instead of spring football game

Why South Carolina is having a Darius Rucker concert instead of spring football game

COLUMBIA — South Carolina is hosting a Darius Rucker concert and block party in lieu of the 2026 spring football game.

The university announced on Feb. 25 that “Gamecock Athletics, in partnership with Rock Block, has announced that country music superstar and longtime Gamecock supporter Darius Rucker, along with country singer, songwriter and actress, Lauren Alaina, will headline the Garnet & Black Spring Fest.”

Williams-Brice Stadium has been under construction since the end of the 2025 football season and will not be operational in April, when coach Shane Beamer typically hosts the Garnet and Black spring game.

The event will take place on Saturday, April 11, at Colonial Life Arena with a free pre-conference block party at the corner of Lincoln and Greene Streets, outside of CLA.

Rucker is a Charleston native and a South Carolina graduate. His band Hootie and the Blowfish was formed at the university.

Tickets will first go to Gamecock Club members, Letterman Association members, University of South Carolina students and Colonial Life Arena Cyber Club members. It’s open to all ages.

The block party will begin at 1 p.m. ET and will feature a meet and greet with Gamecock football players, food and drinks, inflatables, live music and more. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m.

“Due to the ongoing stadium construction, our ability to host a spring game this year was going to be challenging as our top priority is ensuring Williams-Brice Stadium is ready for Sept. 5 home opener,” athletics director Jeremiah Donati said in the release. “As a result, the Garnet & Black Spring Fest was created to not only provide fans with the opportunity to meet and greet our football student-athletes but to come together as Gamecocks.”

Rucker is often involved in things on campus, ranging from attending games to supporting Beamer and women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley, or things more formal like events like these.

At a concert in Columbia in December 2024, Beamer joined Rucker on stage to sing “Wagon Wheel.”

Alaina is from Rossville, Georgia.

South Carolina has not announced dates for spring football practice.
