Mount Pleasant, S.C. - On January 16, 2019, at approximately 5:17 a.m., officers responded to the 1100 block of Stockade Lane in reference to a collision involving one vehicle. Upon arrival, officers found that a light pole had been struck by a 2013 Ford Focus. Officers did not locate any occupants at the scene. A check of the license plate revealed that the car was stolen out of Georgetown, S.C. A perimeter was set up and a K-9 unit was called for. An officer on the perimeter spoke to two people who directed him to two subjects sitting in the lobby of the Holiday Inn Express on Stockade Lane. While speaking with the subjects, a K-9 unit conducted a track that led the handler to the Holiday Inn Express. A prescription bottle was located in the stolen vehicle with the name A.J. Brown on the label that matched the name of one of the subjects at the Holiday Inn Express. Both subjects were taken into custody.
AJ Brown, of Georgetown, was arrested and charged with Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle, Leaving the Scene of a Collision with a Fixed Object, and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor.
The other subject, a 14-year-old juvenile, was charged with Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle.
