LEXINGTON, S.C. (AP) – A Lexington County couple has been charged with exploiting a vulnerable adult. The State Law Enforcement Division says 47-year-old Willie Jarvard Edmond and 50-year-old Robin Ann Edmond of Swansea convinced a patient at the Lexington County Mental Health Center to open several credit accounts.
