DARLINGTON, SC (WBTW) – Two teens were arrested early Monday morning after a deputy coming home from working the race noticed them near a Darlington home.
A press release from the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office says the deputy was traveling home around 1 a.m. when he saw two males with book bags walking up towards a house with another male, also wearing a backpack, remaining on the sidewalk as a lookout.
When the deputy approached the people near the intersection of Cashua Street and Spring Street, he was able to detain two of the three males. The third suspect managed to run away.
