FCSO Issues Apology To Timmonsville Resident

On April 10, 2023 Investigators with the Florence County Sheriff's Office Narcotics Bureau, assisted by the FCSO SWAT team executed a narcotics search warrant on a residence located 314 East Market Street in Timmonsville, SC. No narcotics were located on the premises and no arrests were made.

"My philosophy is simple; 'fess up when you mess up'," Sheriff TJ Joye stated. "As long as human beings are involved, mistakes will happen, even though we do everything we can to minimize them. To me, the important thing is how you deal with your mistakes. We admit them and try to learn from them. I have personally called Ms. McKithen and apologized for our action this morning. I assured her that the matter is under internal review and appropriate action will be taken to make sure nothing like this occurs in the future."
