The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division said Aug. 1 it has charged Town of Hampton Police Chief Perry McAlhaney with assault and battery 3rd degree stemming from a hunting incident last November.

According to the warrant, on or around Nov. 4 of last year, McAlhaney arrived at a Varnville property where he encountered a person hunting there in a deer stand and then accused that person of trespassing.

The warrant then states that McAlhaney retrieved a chain saw and began to cut down the tree stand with the victim still in the stand. The victim, the warrant said, recorded the incident on his cell phone and provided the footage to SLED.

The warrant states that the victim had received permission and paid approximately $500 to the property owner which allowed him access to the property. The victim was not named in the warrant.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division announced Aug. 1 it had charged Town of Hampton Police Chief Perry McAlhaney with assault and battery third degree stemming from an incident last November in Hampton County.
SLED stated McAlhaney provided a statement to SLED admitting to attempting to cut the tree down while the victim was sitting in the deer stand, with the warrant stating McAlhaney attempted to injure another person with the present ability to do so.

Hampton County Detention Center Director Pam Smith said Friday McAlhaney was booked into the Hampton County Detention Center Aug. 1 and processed. He was then released the same day on a $1,187.50 personal recognizance bond, Smith said.

Bo was pissed someone was huntn his spot…

[CUduckreeper]

If there was ever someone that ought to know better.

[jwmetz]

How long would you let him cut the tree or tree stand before you would have responded with self defense? Not the smartest individual

[Swift Strike]

Evidence for the defense would have included at the very least a video of a chainsaw getting shot if not a video of the operator getting whacked ... There's no way I would just sit there and just watch somebody cut my tree down with me in it .....

[bitesize]

Probably more to this story!

[jwilliams]

meh.....ole boy done gone soft in his old age....trespassing in hampton county is serious bidness

[Buckin Bronco]

How long would you let him cut the tree or tree stand before you would have responded with self defense? Not the smartest individual

Or maybe just climb down?

[Mars Bluff]

One shot by beavers feet woulda ended it.

[scatter shot]

^^^ or instigated a mag dump from the bad guy's Glock.

Rule #1 when it comes to firearms, there will not be any warning shots.

Glad no one got killed.

[Baggy]

Or maybe just climb down?

This. Unless you’re scared of an ass whoopin’.

[Glenn]

Deers is serious business. If you aren’t willing to kill a human for gram grip and grin are you really even hunting, Bo?

[PharmHunter]

Hampton county gonna Hampton county.

Sorry to my guys down there!

[trkykilr]

Florida Man…

[flockbuster]

Over a deer. Damn I could see if it was a turkey but a deer. Damn

[Glenn]

Over a deer. Damn I could see if it was a turkey but a deer. Damn

You should see what goes down over squirrel lease trespassing.

I mean, are we shocked at this behavior? I've read on numerous occasions on here about the desire to be "Whoopin' somebodies ass" over a duck. And a deer has WAY more meat on it. Only figures the level of violence increases with the meat yield.

[jwmetz]

No one was trespassing, the police chief threatened him and then gets a chainsaw. I don’t see how the charges were not more serious.

[Cwaysvt]

Oh deer. That was a little rude-olph.

For real doe.

[dubs]

No one was trespassing, the police chief threatened him and then gets a chainsaw. I don’t see how the charges were not more serious.

I do, he's the police chief. That's how things work nowadays I think. Work for the gov, get special treatment, you scratch my back, that whole game.


On a side note, its wild to see just how full of anger people are in today's world. Sad to watch.

[SwampDecoy]

I'm wondering if the Reporter is related to ole' Red Alec, and is trying to get back at the Sheriff for her kin!
