GEORGETOWN, SC (WBTW) – The Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Georgetown man Friday and charged him with the kidnapping, assault and burglary of a 77-year-old Sampit woman.

A press release from the sheriff’s office says deputies arrested Adam Corbett Morris, 37, and booked him into the Georgetown County Detention Center on charges relating to an incident reported Oct. 7. on St. Delight Road.

He took the money and left by the front door, after attempting to wipe away his fingerprints from door handles.
