Charleston County, South Carolina – Early On September 7, 2022, a pursuit began after Charleston County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) deputies attempted to stop a stolen vehicle near I-526 and Paramount Drive earlier this week. Deputies said that the chase came to an end after the suspects crashed into a fence in the Waylyn community. But that is when a foot chase began. Officials with the sheriff’s office said one of the suspects, Kahlil Marquez Smith, engaged in a confrontation with deputy Hank Carter, who discharged his firearm into the ground as a warning. Smith was detained and arrested.

No one was injured when Deputy Carter fired his gun. Charleston County Deputy Kevin Willis was bitten by another suspect during the foot chase. That suspect, Jervontay Bobby McBride, was arrested and taken to the Charleston County Detention Center. Deputy Willis was taken to a local hospital for treatment. A third suspect, Jamar Jorden Gray, was captured near the scene of the gunfire. A fourth suspect was not captured, and deputies are working to determine their identity. Officials with the sheriff’s office said additional charges against the three individuals are likely.
