Deputies are charging a man with shoplifting after he allegedly stole beef jerky from a Fort Mill convenience store after stumbling through the store while drunk, according to a York County Sheriff’s Office report.
The store clerk at the Times Turnaround reported the man was “extremely intoxicated” and stole several beef jerky sticks. Deputies reviewed the store surveillance video which showed the man “enter the store and stumble around,” then grab beef jerky and stuff his pockets. In an attempt to hide the stolen jerky, the man tried to pull his shirt over his pockets, but the shirt was stuck in the same pocket which knocked out the jerky. The man then moved to another display of jerky, grabbed more, and left the store without paying. Officers planned to pursue enhanced shoplifting charges, the report states.

Two Kershaw, South Carolina men led Lancaster Police on a chase and ended up with heroin charges filed against them. Deputies went to Small’s Food Center on North Matson Street in response to a call about a suspicious man ingressing and egressing from the store and hanging around the parking lot. When deputies walked up to the truck, the man who was driving sped away. The report states that deputies immediately knew the man’s drivers license was suspended.
The truck sped into the woods where it hit several trees. One of the men exited the vehicle, and deputies began a foot pursuit. When the deputies yelled for the man to stop, he exclaimed “I can’t,” and just kept running. The man was eventually brought down by the taser the deputies had, and syringes and a small bag of heroin were found. Both men were charged with possession of heroin; one of the men was charged with resisting arrest.

A 44-year-old SC father admits to encouraging his son to fight a fellow teenager, when he took his 14-year-old son to a church parking lot to settle a fight with a 13-year-old boy this past Monday. The conflict began on Facebook and escalated into violence when the two boys met for a face-off at the United Pentecostal Church in Rock Hill, SC.
The 13-year-old’s mother was apparently there watching; however, she maintains that she did not bring her son to fight, but drove to the parking lot on her own volition, after hearing her son had come to the Church to fight. As the altercation became more intense, the father of the 14-year-old got out of his truck, and began waving a gun in the air. The man claims that he was then attacked by the 13-year-old boy, along with a group of other teens that had been watching the fight. The man then got back in his truck, rammed into the car of the 13-year-old boy’s mother, and sped away.
The man was subsequently arrested, and charged with injury to property. The 13-year-old was also charged with hitting the man’s truck with a crutch.
