Woman Suing North Myrtle Beach Reports Private Investigator Filmed Her at Work

A woman who is suing the city of North Myrtle Beach for sex discrimination says she caught a private investigator filming her at work this week.

Carol Johnson and her lawyer, Bonnie Hunt of North Charleston, said they believe the incident – which occurred at 12:28 p.m. Tuesday – might stem from an unrelated worker’s compensation claim filed by another city employee.

Johnson said the private investigator might have confused her for the other woman, who is a friend of Johnson’s.

Hunt said she is continuing to gather information about the incident.

Horry County Police identifed the private investigator as Michael Holland Cook of North Myrtle Beach.
