 Additional Charge Filed Against Durham web posted January 3, 2013 EDGEFIELD – At least one more charge has been filed against Debra Durham as a result of two brushes with law enforcement this past Sunday night. In addition to the charge of trespassing after notice, Durham was charged with reckless driving, however; none of the charges show up on the court's online records at this time. It could take days until the charges are processed and then listed. According to Edgefield County Sheriff's Capt. Chris Wash, there will be no additional charges that are being considered by the Sheriff's Office due to an uncooperative victim. Since the Sheriff's Office was responsible for placing her on trespass notice an hour earlier, that is the only charge they can file under the circumstances. Prior to the second call regarding Durham being back at the man's house with a gun, a Sheriff's deputy spotted Durham driving at a high rate of speed and refused to stop for blue lights. Durham drove over 5 miles ignoring the deputy's blue lights and passing at least 25 driveways or areas that would have been safe to pull over until she reached the Republican Road man's home. The reckless driving charge was filed by the State Highway Patrol, who worked the investigation of the roll over crash when Durham left the roadway and struck a tree as she fled the scene after shooting her pistol. Mrs. Durham, who is a teacher and 2011 Teacher of the Year at JET Middle School, is said to be on medical leave and away from her teaching duties for the time being. Edgefield County School Superintendent Greg Anderson said he would have a statement released later this week about the situation. "Every school district employee knows we have a zero tolerance for an employee that shows a 'propensity for violence' in public," Anderson said when we contacted him on Monday to inform him of the breaking news report by Edgefield Daily that would be filed the following day. He said it was premature to speak in regards to Durham saying the school district would be collecting official reports and doing their own review of the incidents. If needed, a press release will be issued if action is taken by the School District. 1212458 © Copyright 2012 - 2013 All material is property of
