BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) — The South Carolina Department of Revenue has charged a man with operating a business without a retail license and other charges.
John Travis Peterson, 38, of Summerville, was charged with four counts of furnishing a false tax document and one count each of operating without a Retail License, making a threat, and simple assault, according to a release.
The release states that Peterson was the operator of Cane Bay Tire and Auto LLC, whose Retail License was revoked by the SCDOR in June 2025.
However, court documents state Peterson continued to operate the business and make retail sales after the business’s Retail License was revoked.
