Members of MAIT (the S.C. Highway Patrol's Multi-Discipline Accident Investigation Team) survey the crash site. A 62-year-old Gaffney woman injured when a stolen City of Gaffney police cruiser crashed into her vehicle early Wednesday on Highway 18 has been upgraded to good condition at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, a hospital spokesman confirmed Thursday.

The investigation into the crash and how a city police cruiser was stolen, meanwhile, remains open by the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the Gaffney Police Department, and the city police department’s Internal Affairs department.

While authorities initially identified the alleged police cruiser thief as Ronnie Tijuan Martin, 36, of Spartanburg, S.C. Highway Patrol Trooper Billy Elder said Thursday that the man’s real name has since been discovered to be Keith Anthony Johnson, 34, of Weeping Oak Drive, Spartanburg.

Johnson, who had been listed in serious condition at Spartanburg Regional on Wednesday, also was listed in good condition Thursday, a hospital spokesman confirmed.

It wasn’t immediately clear when Johnson would be released from gation into Stroupe’s allegations states that at the very least, poor judgement was exercised by Plaintiff and inappropriate comments and/or conduct of a sexual nature may have well occurred,” the school district’s response states.

In his lawsuit, Jones claimed his rights were violated by his reassignment on May 10 to a district middle school alternative teacher position for the 2010-2011 school year. Jones had been assistant superintendent for administrative services since 2007.

Jones earned $104,000 as an assistant superintendent.

He is scheduled to be paid a regular teacher salary this school year.

In the district’s response, district attor- ney Andrea White denied Jones’ accusations there is a custom and practice of removing school administrators who supported former superintendent Dr. Bill James.

Under state law, White said school administrators have the right to get a teacher contract. White said there are no rights to the position or salary of an administrator position each year.

“Plaintiff’s reassignment to a teacher in the District’s Middle School Alternative Program effective for the 2010- 2011 school year was in the best interests of the District, as determined by Bagwell based on her review of the findings from Attorney Darr’s investigation into Stroupe’s complaint against Plaintiff,” the school district’s response states. “Bagwell’s decision to recommend Plaintiff’s reassignment was further supported by Bagwell’s findings regarding the propriety of other actions taken by Plaintiff during the time in which he was employed as assistant superintendent for administrative services.”
