CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, S.C. — The Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office responded to a situation in Patrick involving a person who had barricaded themself inside a home.
Deputies responded to a call at a residence on Crowley Park Drive on Friday evening concerning 29-year-old Jonathan McCaskill.
McCaskill fired a shot towards a deputy as he was leaving, authorities said, and barricaded himself inside the home.
Around 2 a.m. Saturday, deputies said they secured the area but that McCaskill was still believed to be inside the home.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, or SLED, was also called to the scene to assist.
The standoff lasted hours before McCaskill was taken into custody, deputies said.
Officials said McCaskill was charged with breach of peace high and aggravated in nature, threatening the life of a public official, and assault and battery in the first degree.
“There is no excuse for this type of dangerous behavior,” said Sheriff Cambo Streater. “I’m thankful our deputies handled this situation with professionalism and that no one was injured.”
The investigation is ongoing, but police say there is no active threat to the public.
No additional details have been made available.
