Three arrested after 5 hour manhunt
Friday afternoon at 6:15pm, a homeowner on Mulberry Rd. came home and
discovered a red Jeep Cherokee parked behind his house. The homeowner
confronted a black male after seeing a window had been opened.
The male subject jumped back into the Jeep where two black females were
waiting. The homeowner fired at the subject while they were leaving.
The Jeep ran into a ditch in the front yard and all three suspects exited
the Jeep when one of the females fired at the homeowner, hitting the
homeowner's truck. They fled on foot into a nearby wooded area. The Jeep was
reported stolen from Georgia.
Officers from the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office, Cleveland County
Sheriff's Office and a helicopter from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's
Office, responded to the scene.
The Bloodhound Tracking Team, accompanied by the SERT team, tracked all
three suspects for over four hours before locating them at 11:20pm under a
bridge on I-85.
The females were taken into custody there while the male suspect fled. SERT
team officers pursued him on foot onto 1-85 in and out of southbound traffic
before capturing him in a field off Roark Rd.
