BLACKSBURG, S.C. (AP) - Cherokee County Sheriff Steve Mueller says a man has been arrested in a shooting near Blacksburg.
The Herald-Journal reports 64-year-old Mickey Dean Bailey was arrested around 1 a.m. Thursday on an attempted murder charge. He posted $50,000 bond and was released Friday from the Cherokee County Detention Center.
Mueller’s office said investigators believe the victim, Jerry Darryl Hagan, went to a home looking for his wife Tuesday around 7:45 p.m. While there, investigators said Hagan got into a fight with his brother-in-law, leaving him injured. Deputies said Hagan went to the door of the residence, knocked and got no response.
