How they died
Deadly force
Deputies were traveling on Highway 76 East from Clinton to Laurens when they saw a silver car with a large TV box on the roof. They noticed that the driver and the front-seat passenger were holding the TV box to the roof with their hands. They followed the other. The car reportedly also matched the description of a recent theft from Walmart involving a stolen TV. Deputies got close enough to the other to read the tag and communicate it to dispatch. However, the TV box fell off the roof, so deputies say they activated their emergency lights and attempted to stop the other. The driver then began to increase their speed and fled, until the driver went around a curve, lost control of the other and struck a telephone pole off the side of the roads. Driver Christopher Butler was killed.
