Unnerving Incident at a Local Gas Station
Meanwhile, a rather unsettling incident unfolded on the evening of October 27th at the 7-Eleven gas station on Highway 25 South. A woman flagged down Greenwood County deputies concerning a man who had passed out in his car. Sounds like a worrying scene, right?
Thankfully, she acted quickly and administered Narcan to the individual, suspecting an overdose. The timely intervention is commendable, but things didn’t turn out as smoothly as one would hope. When EMS arrived to provide additional assistance, the man refused the service, turning disruptive instead. Not only did he direct foul language at the responders, but things took a nasty turn when law enforcement attempted to intervene.
During the arrest, the man allegedly spit in an officer’s face and made disturbingly threats to the life of two officers and their families. This alarming behavior landed Lamar Jordan Scott, a 21-year-old resident of 550 Davis St., in quite a bit of trouble. He now faces charges of threatening the life of a public official, resisting arrest, public disorderly conduct, and trespassing.
Stay Informed, Stay Safe
It’s incidents like these that remind us all about the importance of being vigilant and responsible community members. Do remember, if you observe anything suspicious or find yourself in a similar scenario, reaching out to local authorities can often make all the difference!
