One adult and three minors detained after stolen automobile found flipped in Summerville ditch

This is a Summerville–area theft and crash case in Dorchester County, South Carolina. A stolen vehicle was found overturned in a ditch along Big Bird Road near the Summerville Airport Sunday afternoon, and four people who fled on foot were later detained.

What Happened

  • Deputies responded to a tipped‑off traffic incident and discovered the car in the ditch; the occupants had already run off.
  • A search using a drone and a Summerville Police K‑9 led to all four people being found and detained.

Who’s Involved

  • Three suspects were juveniles, who are being released to their parents.
  • The fourth person, an unidentified adult, was taken into custody and is facing charges related to the stolen vehicle and the incident; the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office says the case is still under investigation and more details will come later.

For a small‑town area like the Summerville/Dorchester corridor, these kinds of stolen‑car‑and‑crash incidents are a big deal for local law‑enforcement and public‑safety watchers.
