SHERIFF’S OFFICE ASSISTS WITH DOGFIGHTING WARRANT OPERATION

(October 15, 2026) Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office Investigations, Street Crimes, and Narcotics Divisions assisted the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) SWAT and Dog Fighting Units with two search warrants this morning. SLED has been investigating the property owners at 4600 Saints Delight Road and 818 West Hemlock Street for engaging in illegal dog fighting.

During the warrant service, no residents were on site, but twenty dogs in varying states of malnourishment and neglect were rescued by an out of state agency contracted by SLED. Law enforcement will follow through with charges based on evidence collected through the investigation and found at the two scenes.
