BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – Berkeley County deputies are asking for the public’s help in locating Jeffrey Strickland after he fled from a traffic stop earlier this week.

According to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office, deputies attempted to pull over a vehicle Strickland was driving on Wednesday. Instead of stopping, Strickland allegedly led them on a pursuit that ended when he drove off-road onto a trail in the Windwood area and then fled into nearby woods on foot.
