Langley was killed on Feb. 6 after investigators said he rolled through a stop sign and led Hemingway Police officer Cassandra Dollard on a 9-mile chase outside the town of 530 people.

Dollard shot Langley as he crashed and was trying to get out of the passenger side of his car, state agents said.

Dollard told investigators she feared for her life, but also that she never confirmed he had a weapon. No weapon was found at the shooting scene, according to an arrest warrant.

Dollard is charged with voluntary manslaughter and faces two to 30 years in prison if convicted.

According to training records and other documents, Dollard didn’t have the perfect record in her 30 years of law enforcement, WPDE reported.

Dollard had previously been fired from two agencies.

South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy Director Jackie Swindler told WPDE that officers can move from department to department if they weren’t terminated for misconduct.

Dollard was released from the Georgetown County Detention Center on Feb. 10 and is scheduled to appear in court again in April.
