Rock Hill felon was 12 year no-show for court. He's caught: Mom, sisters charged, too

More than 12 years after a Rock Hill felon failed to show up for court on drug charges, police have arrested him for failure to appear as well as new charges after seizing more drugs and guns, records show. Yet Christopher Maurice Stamps isn’t the only person in his family facing new drug trafficking charges. York County drug enforcement unit commander Matt Earls said police have charged Stamps’ mother, sister and step-sister with drug trafficking. Christopher Stamps, now 44 years old, didn’t show court on drug charges in 2014 while out on bail, court records show. He had previously been sentenced to nine years in prison in 2003 on felony drug charges, according to court and police records. In late October, drug agents arrested him at a home in York west of Rock Hill on drug trafficking and weapons charges, according to arrest warrants and a York County Sheriff’s Office incident report obtained by The Herald. Records do not say how police finally found Stamps after a dozen years avoiding capture. Police seized more than 1.8 pounds of cocaine, over a half-pound of crack cocaine, 66 pounds of marijuana, and two guns when they arrested Stamps, according to warrants and

Opening chapter: Fort Mill businesswoman opens town's first bookstore

FORT MILL — Downtown Fort Mill is home to a mix of places to grab a bite to eat or find a gift for a friend. Lauren Randar decided it was time to turn the page and add a bookstore to the town’s growing list of offerings. She’s already local business owner, with her graphic design company, Tied & Two, operating there for six years. When an attorney’s office just off Main Street became available earlier in 2026, Randar moved the company there, but also saw an opportunity for a storefront business that Fort Mill has never had before. “I've always wanted to own a bookshop,” said Randar, 35, owner ...

‘Changed the world': Dub Massey, Rock Hill Friendship Nine civil rights hero, dies

Rock Hill has lost a hero -- A Black man of short stature whose giant courage helped change the city, South Carolina and America. Willie T. “Dub” Massey, one of the Friendship Nine civil rights protesters who went to jail for a month in 1961 in the fight against segregation and inequality for African-Americans, died Tuesday, according to family members. He was 84. David Williamson Jr., Massey’s first cousin and now the last surviving member of the Friendship Nine, said Massey helped change the country with his courage and steadfast resolve. “He never forgot what he went through, what we all went through, and he never wanted other people to forget, either,” Williamson told The Herald. “He fought, he went through what he did, not for himself. That’s not what we were about. We did what we did, he did what he did, for the future of all people in this country. He wanted a better future for every person. He wanted that for all.” Massey spent decades as a school teacher and counselor, and often spoke to groups about the Civil Rights Movement that his life was intertwined with for more than 65 years. After Friendship, Massey went on

Dutch Fork football might start the postseason without one of its key players. Silver Foxes coach Tom Knotts said Wednesday that his son and senior quarterback Jaxon Knotts is “questionable” for Friday’s second-round Class 5A playoff game against Fort Mill. Jaxon Knotts suffered a thumb injury during the first half of the regular-season finale against White Knoll on Oct. 30. The senior has been rehabbing the injury multiple times a day to try and play in the game. Dutch Fork was off last week. Knotts, a two-year starter, is completing 71% of his passes for 2,102 yards and 29 total touchdowns this season. If Knotts can’t play, junior Jacob Brown would go in his absence.
