Mary Moriarty, 59, faces two counts of pointing and presenting a firearm after admitting to waving a gun at demonstrators during a “No Kings” rally in Myrtle Beach. The incident occurred as she passed the protest on North Kings Highway, prompting police intervention when a witness reported her actions. Moriarty reportedly held the gun by the handle, aiming it toward the windshield of her vehicle rather than directly at the victims, as confirmed by law enforcement.
The court has set Moriarty’s bond at $100,000, which she posted shortly after. During her bond hearing, she expressed remorse, but a judge indicated concerns for public safety, barring her from contact with the victims and possession of firearms. If convicted, Moriarty could face up to ten years in prison, with her next court date scheduled for December 19.
