PC Sheriff’s Office arrests Man wanted in Three Counties

The Pickens County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man Thursday morning wanted in Pickens, Oconee and Greenville counties for several outstanding warrants. Ryan Adam Carr and Eliyah Kiana Rogers were both taken into custody at approximately 8am at a residence on McCoy Street in Pickens County. Neither subject offered any resistance during the arrest. On Feb. 17, a Pickens County resident was approached by the occupants of a white SUV as he walked down a road in the Dacusville Community. Two of the three occupants exited the vehicle at which time the victim was robbed of his personal belongings after one of the suspects threatened to shoot him with a handgun if he did not comply. The victim was not injured during the encounter but was forced to surrender almost $900 of his personal property. The Pickens County Sheriff’s Office learned of additional criminal activity that occurred in both Greenville and Oconee counties with the suspects having similar descriptions. Through the course of the investigation it was determined that the white colored SUV was stolen from Greenville County and stolen credit cards from inside the vehicle were used by the suspects at a business in Oconee County. The identities of the suspects were confirmed through the independent investigations conducted by authorities in all three counties and two of the three suspects have now been arrested and are currently detained in the Pickens County Detention Center. The third subject is still at large and his identity has not yet been released pending additional investigation.
