BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – Three teenagers were charged for breaking into vehicles after attempting to flee Berkeley County deputies, the agency said.
Dispatch received a call about possible vehicle break-ins just before 3 a.m., the agency said.
Deputies responded and searched the area of Archibald Drive in Goose Creek, where they found three suspects who matched the caller’s description.
The three suspects saw the deputies and ran off. One fell shortly after running away, and a deputy attempted to detain him.
He began to fight back against the deputy grabbing his vest, according to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office.
He then allegedly hit the deputy in the face. Another deputy arrived to help, and the teen was eventually detained.
Law enforcement found the other two suspects a short time later.
When found, one of the suspects had a pair of AirPods and a Beats headset on him. The sheriff’s office said he admitted to authorities that he stole the items from a vehicle in a nearby neighborhood.
