Goose Creek Police release dash cam footage of brawl that led to 8 arrested

GOOSE CREEK, S.C. (WCBD) — The Goose Creek Police Department has released dash camera footage of a brawl that resulted in 8 arrests and an officer collapsing over the weekend.

The footage has been redacted due to the amount of nudity on the videos, said Chief LJ Roscoe with Goose Creek PD. Chief Roscoe also said the bystander people are claiming who helped the downed officer in the incident instead looked and walked away to pick up a “tensa barrier” in front of the bar.

The bystander did not render medical aid.

An officer stopped at Two Keys Tavern on College Park Road for a security check around 11:30 p.m. Saturday and observed several females fighting at the entrance.

He attempted to stop the altercation and was able to detain one woman, according to Goose Creek PD. Many females surrounded him during this, kicking and punching him while he was on the ground.

The suspects then attempted to flee, and the officer deployed his taser that did not make contact with the suspects or himself. The officer then suffered a medical emergency and collapsed to the ground.

Backup law enforcement arrived and secured the scene. EMS took the officer, who collapsed, to the hospital for treatment. He was released and said to be OK by officials. 

A television film crew for ‘On Patrol Live’ was traveling with the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office when they responded to the incident.

Authorities used the dash cam video and witness video to identify seven female suspects and arrest them.

All arrested were taken to the Berkeley County Detention Center. Those arrests include:

• Breona Wright, 27
• Merical Cromer, 23
• Darricka Richardson, 23
• Jah’mya Robinson, 23
• Elasia Wescott, 24
• Anjatonia Brown, 23
• Zy Monia Fleming, 25
• De’ja Lee

Officials said five of the females are being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting/assaulting police, and two females are being charged with disorderly conduct.

Chief Roscoe said police are still attempting to identify a ninth suspect.
