A man, who told police that he was home from college, spent the evening in jail after authorities found several knives, brass knuckles, and a machete in his car. This 
incident occurred around 10:00 a.m., when police stopped a silver Honda Civic on Dave Lyle Boulevard after it ran off the road and struck a tree. The 19-year-old driver attempted to reach the drivers door pocket before police ordered him out of the car. He was then detained in handcuffs, and when police explored the vehicle, they noticed the smell of marijuana.
The young man told police that there was a marijuana pipe and a grinder in the car; and further, after searching the car, they also located three types of knives, a package of rolling papers, five pieces of chemistry glassware with a makeshift hose and Keck clips in the truck, a set of brass knuckles and a marijuana smoking device. A 10-inch machete was also found in the trunk, according to the report.
The 19-year-old told the officers that he used the glassware to make a Hookah for marijuana smoking use, and he said that the weapons were in the car because he recently returned home from college in Charleston, and he always keeps weapons in his car while in Charleston. He is being charged with simple possession of marijuana, and unlawfully carrying weapons.

York County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a man whom they say led them on a high speed chase before fleeing his vehicle and escaping from
deputies. This circumstance occurred when a Mazda sedan, with no working tag light, was discovered by deputies at around 2:00 a.m., and they attempted to pull the driver over, according to a report from the York County Sheriff’s Office.
Thereafter, the vehicle refused to stop, and continued driving down several roads in the community at a high rate of speed before crossing into Chester County. Deputies eventually caught up with the car in a field close to Aaron Burr Road and Highway 909. The car was up against the fence, and the driver was nowhere to be found. Chester County K9 units responded to the area, but were unable to pickup a scent of the man. However, an identification card and a kilogram of marijuana was found in a Belk shopping bag. The investigation is on-going.

A Catawba, South Carolina woman was found with heroin and syringes in her purse hours before she was due to be in court. This occurred after police were called to a Rolling Ridge Road home where a 22-year-old was suffering from an overdose. The 21-year-old suspect was viewed by police attempting to help the other woman to her feet; and, thereafter she was taken to the hospital.
Police found that the woman was wanted by the state Department of Probation and Parole, and when officers searched the woman’s purse, they found a syringe filled with a clear liquid. The woman further asked officers not to arrest her because she was due in court in a few hours. She was charged with possession of heroin; vials of anabolic steroids werealso later found in the house where the incident took place.
The court proceeding was in reference to an incident where the woman and her sister were found in a Rock Hill motel room using heroin and hydrocodone after she was accused of stealing a man’s gun while they were at his house. And, if this is all is not enough, the woman also received a grand larceny charge two years ago; this is what put her on probation in the first place.
