Police: Trucker attacked by mob at Spartanburg gas station

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Spartanburg Police Department is asking for the public’s help identifying multiple suspects who ganged up and assaulted a Circle K employee.

On December 20, officers with the Spartanburg Police Department were called to Circle K at the intersection of East Main Street and Drayton Road at around 3 a.m.

Officers said when they arrived on scene, they were told that a Circle K employee was jumped in the parking lot by three people.

“My understanding is that he had been inside the store but then came outside the store back to his tanker truck. He worked for Circle K as a the delivery driver, dropping fuel in the underground tanks,” said Maj. Art Littlejohn with the Spartanburg Police Department.

Investigators said the incident was captured by a doorbell camera next door to the gas station.

“You can’t see it clearly because it happens behind two of the tanks, but they jumped on him, they ended hitting him several times in his face in his head and shoulder,” Littlejohn said.
