A recently retired U.S. Attorney has set his sights on a prosecutor’s job in the Upstate. Former U.S. Attorney Walt Wilkins is seeking the South Carolina prosecutor’s job for Greenville and Pickens counties. Wilkins retired as an assistant U.S. Attorney earlier this month. He plans to seek the Republican nomination for the post this year. Prosecutor Bob Ariail is not seeking re-election. The 35-year-old Wilkins is the son of William Wilkins, former chief judge of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia.
