Until recently, those who ran afoul of the law in Chattooga County could call on Uncle Wiggy for help.

Uncle Wiggy dot com. For about $25 dollars a year, a lawbreaker could ask questions on the website, which also offered a pamphlet called "Uncle Wiggy's Secret Guide to Dealing with the Police."

It turns out the site was launched in March by Summerville police detective Josh Brock and county sheriff's Deputy Jeremy Reece.
But now the website's been shut down. The business cost the officers their jobs, closed state court for a day and spurred conflict about alleged ethics violations.
It's unclear whether anyone actually bought a membership on the website or what sort of advice the officers were giving.
Chattooga County Sheriff Mark Schrader says there's no proof the officers were giving any special treatment to those who signed up, and now that both officers have resigned, he says he won't be investigating the matter any further.
