Unspecified Officers – Florence Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In August 2021, former Florence County deputy Brian Proffitt was sentenced to six months in prison for hitting a handcuffed victim several times on the head with a flashlight during a February 2019 incident. Proffitt pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and battery and misconduct in office. He was also found to have omitted information about the beating from his initial report and a follow-up report. Proffitt had previously been terminated from the Darlington Police Department in 2009 for violations including sleeping on duty.
