Hason Tatorian ‘Tory’ Fields, a 52-year-old man from Goose Creek, has been sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison for his role in a brazen public corruption scheme in North Charleston.
According to the Department of Justice, Fields was found guilty of conspiracy to commit bribery with respect to programs receiving federal funds and honest services wire fraud, bribery with respect to programs receiving federal funds, and honest services wire fraud.
The scheme, which involved corrupt officials and businessmen, was designed to line the pockets of those involved with taxpayer dollars. Fields’ sentencing is a major blow to the corrupt network, and a victory for the people of North Charleston who deserve honest and transparent government.
Fields’ sentence is a stark reminder that public corruption will not be tolerated in this country. The Department of Justice is committed to rooting out corruption and bringing those responsible to justice, no matter how high up the chain they may be.
The case against Fields was investigated by the FBI and the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina. Assistant U.S. Attorney Amy F. Holden prosecuted the case.
Fields’ sentencing is a testament to the hard work and dedication of law enforcement and prosecutors who worked tirelessly to bring him to justice. It also serves as a warning to others who would seek to engage in public corruption: you will be caught, and you will be punished.
The people of North Charleston can rest easier knowing that Fields will be behind bars, and that the corrupt scheme he was a part of is finally coming to an end.
The Department of Justice will continue to investigate and prosecute public corruption cases, and we urge anyone with information about corruption in their community to come forward and report it.
