Deputy William McClure

On August 23, 2014, Deputy McClure was patrolling MM Scott Apartment complex. During the patrol, Deputy McClure observed 2 subjects setting off fireworks in the parking lot. Upon seeing Deputy McClure, the subjects took flight on foot into apartment 67. A consent search was conducted inside of the residence by Deputy McClure and the rest of Housing Squad A. During the search, one of the subjects who ran into the residence was located hiding under the bed in the master bedroom. This subject was wanted through Aiken, S.C. for serious felony violations including kidnapping, armed robbery and a firearm violation and had been a fugitive for some time.  Approximately 2.1 grams of marijuana and a loaded .38 caliber revolver was also seized from the residence.  The subject was taken into custody and claimed ownership of the marijuana and the firearm. Deputy McClure did an outstanding job on patrol and was attentive to persons that he observed while patrolling. Because of Deputy McClure’s alertness and knowledge of the law, a wanted felon was quickly apprehended without incident and a firearm and drugs were taken off the street.
