Burlington resident Shia Lee, 31, has been arrested and charged with carjacking and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime following a carjacking in Orangeburg County, SC, this past weekend.
A number of police departments were involved in both the apprehension and arrest of Lee. According to the Orangeburg Sheriff s Office, Lee carjacked an off-duty police officer Saturday evening. He was apprehended hours later by the Bamberg Police Department while trying to flee from the Denmark Police Department.
Investigators believe, sometime between the initial carjacking in Orangeburg and his apprehension, Lee was also involved in another carjacking in Branchville, South Carolina. He is expected to face additional charges in other South Carolina districts. He is currently being held in Bamberg County Jail.

More S.C. parents saying no to common vaccines
VIDEO: More S.C. parents saying no to common vaccines By Michal Higdon | December 17, 2020 at 11:46 PM EST - Updated December 18 at 5:51 PM
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - In a year where people have been waiting for a coronavirus vaccine, a portion of parents seem to be foregoing the common vaccines when it comes to their children.
There are certain vaccines that are required for school-aged children. Those include Hepatitis A and B, DTaP (whooping cough, tetanus) and MMR (measles, mumps, rubella).
“We’re seeing a perfect example of a virus that sort of rears its ugly head and then the only thing that we really have, as a society, is vaccinating as many people as possible to minimize the risk because there are going to be some people who might not be able to get vaccinated,” Dr. Kenneth Perry, the Assistant Medical Director at Summerville Medical Center, said.
