A fatal accident in South Carolina has police seeking answers. Following the crash, a 27-year-old male was arrested and is currently facing several charges, including felony DUI. However, the reason behind the DUI charge is unclear, as information regarding whether or not any applicable tests, such as a field sobriety test or blood-alcohol test, were performed.

A young man in South Carolina has died after he and several of his friends supposedly decided to try out a bulletproof vest. Unfortunately, something went horribly wrong, and the 26-year-old male was shot in the chest. Now two of his friends are facing felony charges for their supposed role in his death.

Needless to say, teachers have a difficult job. They are responsible for not only teaching their students, but providing a source of trust and friendship. Unfortunately, being in that position of trust makes them vulnerable to accusations of ethical lines being crossed. In South Carolina, allegations of crossing these lines -- particularly if these accusations relate to sexual assault -- are taken very seriously by school officials and local law enforcement.

For individuals who have been involved in a car accident that resulted in fatality, being considered the overall cause of another person's death can weigh very heavily upon their mind. It is no small thing and, understandably, local police and the victim's family members will look at every aspect of the incident to determine exactly what happened. This includes determining if any impairing substances, such as alcohol or drugs, were involved. If any of these types of substances are found to have contributed to the crash, felony DUI charges may be filed, which carry harsh penalties in South Carolina.

Violent crimes are, unfortunately, a fairly common occurrence in South Carolina. With local law enforcement doing all they can to crack down on these crimes, individuals accused of any sort of involvement in a violent crime could face very serious consequences under state laws. Recently, three young men were arrested and are facing felony charges for their supposed connection in a string of armed robberies in Florence.

Another drug bust in South Carolina has led to the arrest of several people, six of whom are college students. All will soon face the charges against them in drug court. The charges related to these drug crimes can carry severe punishment under state and/or federal laws. Thankfully, legal options are available to secure the best possible outcome for each individual's situation.
