Gooey, green-black mold in air vents and on furniture in a Columbia area magistrate’s office may have sent the judge and some staff members to the hospital over the past few years.

A report obtained Monday by The State on the mold — which prompted Friday’s closure of the Dentsville magistrate’s office — cited “ongoing medical problems” with the staff of Magistrate Phil Newsom, noting some had “strokes, allergies, rashes,” and “several staff members have had to be carried out by ambulance.”

That report, given to Richland County officials late last week, prompted the evacuation from the building at 2500 Decker Blvd. A county spokeswoman said Monday the magistrate’s office will move downtown temporarily, to the central magistrates’ court building on Huger Street.
