Today in History: Chimel v. California (1969) – South Carolina Fraternal Order of Police
Today, we remember Horry County Constable Henry Cornelius Hardee, South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Corporal Randall Scott Hewitt, Easley Town Marshal Jeremiah Hughes, and Duncan Town Policeman Charlie Smith.
On this date in 1891, Constable Henry Hardee was shot and killed while attempting to serve a warrant on a subject wanted for assault and battery.
On this date in 1996, Lance Corporal Hewitt was killed when his patrol car was struck from behind by a pickup truck on I-95 in Florence County. He was in the process of working an accident scene when the truck veered off the road and struck his vehicle.
On this date in 1892, Town Marshal Jeremiah Hughes was shot and killed at approximately 10:00 pm after responding to a person reportedly being threatened.
On this date in 1939, Town Policeman Charlie Smith was shot and killed by a man he had previously arrested.
Sgt. Chris Johnson has dedicated his life to serving the people of Conway and Horry County with strength, compassion, and professionalism. We are heartbroken by the news of his injuries and stand with his family and colleagues during this difficult time. His service to others has been unwavering; now it’s our turn to support him.
