2 charged after person shoots at police, crashes stolen car in Grand Strand chase, officials say
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — Two people have been charged and two have been released after four people were taken into custody Thursday morning after police were shot at and led on a pursuit of an armed suspect in a stolen vehicle along Highway 17 Bypass, authorities said. Riley Pegram, 17, of Brown Summit, North Carolina, was charged with three counts of attempted murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, kidnapping, unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a stolen vehicle and failure to stop for blue lights. Omarion Glass, 20, of Greensboro, North Carolina, was charged with three counts of attempted murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and use or employment of a person under 18 to commit certain crimes. Myrtle Beach police attempted to 'proactively approach' a car with four people, all wearing masks, around 8:15 a.m. when the vehicle fled, Myrtle Beach Police Chief Amy Prock said. Capt. John Evans with the Myrtle Beach Fire Department said that the pursuit started in Market Common and went along Farrow Parkway. Police later clarified that the pursuit began in the area of Twilight Surf Motel off 17th Ave. South. Around 8:30 a.m., Horry County police were asked to assist MBPD as the suspect was seen driving the wrong way in traffic at 'excessive speeds,' HCPD said. The suspect's vehicle wrecked near 67th Avenue North and North Highway 17. All four people in the vehicle were taken into custody, but two are not facing charges and were released to state custody. Nearby resident Susan Lindauere praised the quick response from police. She said she saw a big plume of smoke believed to be from when the crash happened. 'It was pretty much cops coming right and left everywhere, every which way,' she said. 'And it was a pretty dramatic scene for about 10 minutes. So by the end, I think there were probably 20 to 25 cop cars. And I knew it was pretty intensive at that moment. So I stayed back with a couple of neighbors back here as we observed.' Another resident, Benjamin Hicks, thought he was going to be hit. 'I saw the white SUV just back there behind us, speeding by, and about a hundred cops behind him,' Hicks said. 'And I was like, 'Oh, I'm about to get run over.' I'm walking my dogs, I was like, 'Oh, these people are in danger in the community.' So I just got out of the way.' There were no officers injured during the incident. Count on News13 for updates. * * * Jordan White is a Digital Producer at News13. She joined the News13 team in August 2024.
