South Carolina Man Pleads Guilty To Kidnapping, Possession Of A Firearm And Witness Tampering
Thursday, April 11, 2013

On March 22, 2012, Lonnie Cecil Buchanan, Jr., 44, of Pageland, S.C., was indicted by a federal grand jury on one count of kidnapping, one count of possession of firearm by a convicted felon, and one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of kidnapping. Court records indicate that following his arrest and while in federal custody, Buchanan began to call the kidnapping victim in an attempt to persuade the victim to recant the statements the victim made to law enforcement and the federal grand jury. As a result of that conduct, in December 2012, a federal grand jury added two charges of tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant in a superseding bill of indictment.

...The defendant has been in local federal custody in the Western District of North Carolina since April 2012 and will remain in custody until his sentencing date, which has not been set yet. He faces a maximum of life in prison, a $250,000 fine or both.
