Stolen car investigation leads to arrest
A car stolen in Anderson County turned up on an embankment last week in Long Creek. And a 57-year-old man that the Oconee Sheriff’s Office believes drove the car was arrested. The sheriff’s office this afternoon announced the following charges against Playground Road, Walhalla resident Darrell Scott Brooks: failure to stop for a blue light, resisting arrest, and receiving stolen goods. After receiving word that an Audi Q5 was reported stolen, a deputy attempted a traffic stop. But, according to the sheriff’s office, the driver accelerated away from the patrol vehicle and that started a pursuit which ended on the Long Creek Highway near Raines Road.
