Mount Pleasant Fire Marshal Arrested for Domestic Violence Following Disturbing Incident

Mount Pleasant Under the Spotlight: Fire Marshal Arrested in Domestic Violence Case

In a shocking turn of events in Mount Pleasant, a local fire marshal has found himself under arrest following an altercation at his home. Paul Kondor, a 47-year-old Charleston Deputy Fire Marshal, was taken into custody on November 4, 2024, after police responded to a domestic disturbance.

The Incident Unfolds

It all began when officers were called to a residence on Jorrington Street early in the morning. Upon arrival, they spotted a woman loading her car, seemingly preparing to drive her child to school. After taking two protective measures notices, police entered the home to investigate further. What they discovered inside was troubling.

According to police reports, Kondor admitted to being involved in an argument with his partner, which escalated to him throwing a bag at her—although he claimed he missed. He insisted that he tripped and fell against her, but did not believe he caused any injury. The situation took a more alarming turn when footage from a Ring camera captured him grabbing the woman by her shirt while she cried out for him to stop. Her distress was clear as she yelled, ” … stop, no, stop it.”

A Disturbing Situation

Witnessing this, officers saw Kondor push the woman into her North Charleston fire truck. The chaos didn’t stop there; additional video evidence revealed him running across the street, attempting to block her from entering a neighbor’s home. It was at this point that law enforcement decided to take action and arrest the fire marshal.

Allegations of Infidelity

During interviews, police learned that there was more to the story. The unnamed woman shared her fears about Kondor’s alleged cheating. She had discovered a velvet bag containing women’s clothing and thigh-high socks, which fueled her suspicions. When confronted, Kondor reportedly erupted in anger, pushing her in front of their child during the heated exchange.

A New Obsession?

Adding another layer of complexity to the situation, the woman expressed concern over Kondor’s newfound obsession with the Batman villain, The Joker. When she asked him about it, he shut down completely, leaving her with more questions than answers. As if that wasn’t troubling enough, she also voiced her concerns regarding his collection of firearms at home.

Next Steps

After the altercation, officers advised the woman to attend the upcoming bond court hearing and report her concerns about her safety. For now, video evidence from the incident has been secured and additional footage is expected to be reviewed as the investigation continues.

Weather Update

As this drama unfolds in Mount Pleasant, residents can expect a touch of cloudiness in the weather, which is not unusual for this time of year. With a high of 79°F and a chance of a slight rain shower, it looks like we might have fog settling in overnight with temperatures dropping to a low of around 65°F. So whether you’re catching up on the latest news or just heading out, be sure to keep your umbrellas handy!

Conclusion

This incident has undoubtedly raised eyebrows in the community, especially given the alarming details that have emerged. As law enforcement continues to gather evidence and assess the situation, residents are left wondering how this will affect the local fire department and what the future holds for the individuals involved.
