Florence shooting suspect arrested again
A suspect in a Dec. 18 shooting was arrested again Monday after police said he fired a gun near a home on Gladstone Street on Christmas Day, Florence Police Maj. Carlos Raines said.
Jerami Tyrone Alexander, 27, of 1217 Dixie St. is charged with discharging firearms into a dwelling, Florence County Detention Center bookings reports show.
Police said the suspect was at a friend’s house talking with a group of people when he fired the weapon and drove away. No injuries were reported.
Alexander is a suspect in a Dec. 18 incident where a man was shot three times on Ingram Street. The victim underwent surgery and is expected to survive his injuries. Alexander is charged with assault and battery with intent to kill in connection with that case.
He was released Monday from the jail in Effingham. Bond information wasn’t available.

Who are the judges that keep allowing for conditions of bond in violent crimes? Are they appointed, if so, by whom? Are they elected? Then there’s no one to blame but the voters who put them on the bench. Great work by a police detective can be undone in about 30 minutes by an indifferent solicitor or a bleeding hearted (or weak minded) judge. Those are the weak links in the criminal justice system here in SC.
this guy has been arrested 14 times did he never go to court on any of these charges and why is he not already serving time for the other charges that he had before this happened. the justice system amazes me in south carolina its a joke
Brilliant. Let’s let him KILL someone before he stays in jail. Maybe it’ll be an innocent victim who stops a stray bullet the next time; or maybe a police officer when this guy gets tired of being arrested repeatedly.
Is it any wonder things are like they are around here? Call your Solicitor and DEMAND action!
