House Speaker Bobby Harrell will resign his House seat and plead guilty Thursday to charges of using campaign funds for personal gain, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
.Harrell arrived at the Richland County courthouse with his family and his attorney, Bart Daniel, for the 10:30 a.m.
.No details were given about the subject of the hearing in a news release issued Wednesday afternoon by 1st Circuit Solicitor David Pascoe.
.No further information will be provided at this time, Pascoe said in the release.
.But sources familiar with the investigation say Harrell will plead guilty to several of the charges and will resign from the House seat he has held since 1993. He also will be prohibited from seeking office for three years, the sources said.
.Harrell, 58, who faces various charges of criminal misconduct in office, already has had a bond hearing and is free on $18,000 bond.
.He was indicted Sept. 10 on nine ethics and misconduct-related charges, including illegally using campaign money for personal expenses, filing false campaign disclosure reports and misconduct in office.
.It was the first time in memory that a sitting South Carolina House speaker was indicted. He quickly was suspended from the leadership position he held since 2005.
.Harrell was indicted on two counts of misconduct in office, six counts of using campaign funds for personal use and one count of false reporting candidate campaign disclosures.
.Each of the pending charges against Harrell is a misdemeanor, but one common-law misconduct in office carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence.
