 16-year-old charged and released in shooting web posted December 29, 2008  EDGEFIELD – Edgefield Police have made an
arrest in the shooting of an Augusta man at The Center last month.
Edgefield Police Chief Ronnie Carter said a 16-year-old has been
charged with assault and battery with the intent to kill, South
Carolina’s equivalent of attempted murder. “He turned himself in with
his attorney Christmas Eve day and was released minutes later on a PR
(personal recognizance) bond,” Chief Carter said.Chief Carter said the teen has been charged as an adult, but they have not released his name. Calls to the Edgefield County Detention Center on the New Ellington teen revealed no information on the arrest or booking. According to Chief Carter the teen was bonded out following a Department of Juvenile Justice bond hearing by Edgefield County Chief Magistrate Davis Parkman. The “PR” bond was set at $50,000, but requires no money to be paid to assure the teen returns to face the charge in General Sessions Court. An additional charge of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime could be pending against the teen. A second warrant has been issued for the driver of the car the shots were fired from, but no arrest has been made as of Sunday. The arrest stems from a drive-by shooting at The Center on Macedonia Street November 16 when a white convertible with the top down drove by the location and the teen allegedly fired at least five shots into the crowd. An Augusta man was struck by one of the bullets and was airlifted to the MCG Trauma Unit in Augusta for treatment. He has since recovered from the injury. The gun used in the shooting has not been recovered. The shooting incident, the fourth in five weeks at the location, prompted town officials to seek the closure of the popular party spot. Things remained quiet in the town until December 20 when a party at the Edgefield Town Gym erupted in gunfire after two groups, one wearing red shirts and the other wearing black shirts, squared off in the parking lot. Police converged on the area and the two groups got into several vehicles and left the scene and stopped a short distance away. It was then at least one shot rang out but no one was injured. Edgefield Police are still investigating the incident.
