Sheriff Greenville says that the suspicious shooting of the justified robbery Greenville News

The “briefing of the critical incident community” has seven minutes, including about two minutes of filming from three separate angles.

Deputies in Pickens County responded to a report of a reinforced robbery at an Old Easley Bridge Road gas station around 9:30, January 23, according to a press release at that time.

The detectives determined a man in a hood jacket that marked a semiautomatic gun demanded money from the store official and fled from the area to a dark Nissan Pathfinder, the statement said.

The official was not injured, and the Sheriff’s office in Pickens County said at the time of seeing an isolated incident that did not represent a danger to the people in the area.

Deputies in Greenville County identified Scates as a suspect and learned that they attend hotels in the south of Greenville, according to information.

At 14:30, deputies who patrolled the area noticed a suspect who is believed to be back outside a hotel in Greenville on South Pleasantburg Drive, according to law enforcement. Back was sitting in his vehicle, parked in a parking place.

The filming of the body room shows deputies, armed with rifles, leaving their vehicles and shouting at SCATS to “put their hands up.”

Scates reversed the vehicle to the hotel and then accelerated to the law enforcement. A deputy used and used the vehicle to put his back vehicle on a pillar.

“He arrives,” the deputy said as he pushed Scats vehicle back. The tires of the deputy vehicle have slipped and smoked, and other deputies seem to tell the deputy driving to stop accelerating, while smoke hides their vision.

“Put your hands up” and “don’t get there anymore,” the deputies yell.

“Beanbags,” said a deputy, referring to a non-lethal measure to submit the pieces. “Someone receives the bean bags.”

The law enforcement says that Scats came out and then left his vehicle with a gun and began to run along the hotel wall. Moments later, the deputies began to shoot, show the movies for the body room. The back ended by the hotel wall.
