Boyd withdraws recusal motion in Spivey lawsuit as attorney seeks sanctions

WMBF News reports that HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - Weldon Boyd has withdrawn his request for the judge overseeing his case to remove himself, but the accusations in that request remain a problem for the attorney representing Scott Spivey’s family.

Boyd withdrew a motion without prejudice on Thursday that had asked Circuit Court Judge Eugene Griffith, Jr.

to recuse himself from the wrongful death lawsuit stemming from a deadly 2023 road rage shooting in Horry County.

The motion was originally filed on June 9.

Authorities said Boyd, the owner of Buoys on the Boulevard in North Myrtle Beach, shot and killed Spivey along Camp Swamp Road in the Longs area following a road-rage incident in 2023.

Spivey’s family filed a lawsuit against Boyd and his friend, Kenneth “Bradley” Williams, in 2024.
