Deputy Joseph Csria,

On March 4, 2018, Deputy Travis Clark responded to an apartment on Essie McIntyre Blvd. in reference to a domestic dispute. Upon arrival, Deputy Clark found the subject inside the residence with his son and daughter. The mother of his children was at the scene to retrieve the children.  Deputy Clark noted that the subject was acting erratic. Corporal Rzasa arrived on scene and was able to determine that the subject had no legitimization paperwork for the children. After learning this, the subject became agitated and stated that he was going to come out and kill everyone. Corporal Rzasa called for additional units, Deputies Alexander Morgan, Joseph Csria, and Elvin Thompson arrived quickly on the scene. The subject then threatened to kill his son and stated, "Everyone is going to die in here tonight."  Deputies could hear through the door the son screaming that he did not want to die and then screamed, "Daddy, NO!" Deputies entered the apartment, where the subject was found lying on his back with his arm around the neck of his son. Deputy Clark had to drive stun the subject with his Taser while other deputies attempted to free the child. The subject then began to physically fight and resist the deputies before being handcuff.

The Richmond County Sheriff's Office was honored to have been donated several hundred Maxx-Dri Vest today. Mr. Tim Dobbs on behalf of the Community Foundation for the Central Savannah River Area presented the Maxx-Dri Vest at the Richmond County Sheriff's Office. The Maxx-Dri Vest creates FULL 360 degree separation (space) between your body and your body armor, allowing heat and moisture (perspiration) to escape. This keeps you drier, cooler in the heat, warmer in the cold, safer and more focused. We are honored and thankful for the communities support.

Investigator Kris Lapham,

On November 30, 2017, Investigator Kris Lapham was notified of unauthorized charges at various businesses over the last few days, with the RCSO’s Visa Credit Card in an amount totaling over $18,000.00.  Additional Investigators began responding to various businesses throughout neighboring counties to acquire video surveillance footage of possible suspects and purchase information from the card.  Video surveillance footage and purchase information from the card was obtained from over 10 businesses depicting at least two suspects involved in the use of the credit card information.  Investigator Lapham continued to work over the next several weeks with developed leads from other agencies in an attempt to learn the identity of the suspects. With the aid of law enforcement databases, contacts from other law enforcement agencies, criminal history records, and social media sites Investigator Lapham was able to identify both subjects involved in the crime and obtain arrest warrants. As the result of diligence and dedication, Investigator Lapham was able to make an arrest and solve the case.
