On September 21, 2022, Deputy Jason Erwin, while off-duty and intoxicated, was involved in a crash in Greenwood County. Dressed in shorts and a tank top, he approached the victims aggressively, leading them to flee. Erwin pursued them in his marked patrol vehicle, ramming their car multiple times. Upon stopping, he threatened to shoot the victims and discharged his 12-gauge shotgun. He admitted to consuming alcohol before and during the incident. Erwin was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder and misconduct in office, and was subsequently terminated from his position.
