Fisherman Reels in Guns

The bag that a fisherman’s hook snared last week in Lake Hartwell turned into a case for law enforcement. The angler pulled in a bag of firearms from beneath a bridge on Hartwell. Master Deputy Jimmy Watt said, At this time, the firearms have been checked and are not reported stolen. In regards to due diligence, shell casings from the guns have been sent to SLED for further analysis. The Sheriff’s Office is treating this as found property.”
