The two barricaded subjects at the Ernest Drive, St. Helena residence surrendered and are now in custody.
A short time ago, the two men—who barricaded themselves in the Ernest Drive, St. Helena Island residence—surrendered peacefully to Sheriff's Office deputies. Both men were taken into custody on arrest warrants for a recent armed robbery and will be transported to the Beaufort County Detention Center.
Sheriff's Office personnel remain on scene and are currently serving a search warrant inside of the residence—171 Ernest Drive—for evidence in the armed robbery investigation. Details about the armed robbery case, to include the identities of the subjects involved, will be released later this afternoon.
We appreciate your partnership and continued commitment to the safety of our community.
