"While on duty, [these] deputies knowingly reported five hoax emergencies within the municipalities of Cheraw, Chesterfield, McBee and Pageland," a SLED agent wrote in a Feb. 4 arrest warrant released this week.
"These hoax reports were telephoned to convenience stores or the respective municipal law enforcement agency and notified the call recipient of the location of a ‘dead body’ within the municipalities," the warrant added. "These hoax calls caused emergency responses from law enforcement and/or other emergency responders."
