Sheriff clears up claims of inmate injured in brawl at Cherokee County jail, flown to hospital.

Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office debunked social media rumors of an inmate fight at the detention center. Heather B. Smith was booked Tuesday around 5:57 p.m. for cocaine possession after her March 10 hospital release following a Feb. 28 crash on Union Highway.

Timeline

  • Crash injured Smith; hospitalized 12 days.
  • Highway Patrol arrested her post-release on the warrant.
  • During escort, she complained of pain (from crash), got EMS to hospital—no jail fight involved.

No injuries at the facility; rumors false. Good callout on misinformation—crash pains lingered, not inmate violence. Ties into your SC news follows,
