Suspicious ATV Incident in Cayce Leads to Arrest of Individual with Stolen Trailer

Cayce, SC – Suspicious ATV Incident Leads to Arrest

Earlier this week, the typically peaceful streets of Cayce, South Carolina, were stirred up when quick-thinking officers from the Cayce Police Department jumped into action to investigate a group of individuals riding all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) near the Riverland Park neighborhood. This particular area had seen some challenges lately, having been partially evacuated just last weekend due to flooding from **Hurricane Helene**.

It all began when a public safety officer noticed some suspicious activity and decided to reach out for backup. The radio call went out, and in a flash, officers from various divisions—Criminal Investigation, Patrol, and Administration—rushed to the scene. It’s reassuring to see how quickly our law enforcement can respond in these kinds of situations.

Investigating the Situation

When the officers arrived, they quickly got to work, approaching the ATV riders for questioning. They carried out their investigation, checking the riders and their equipment. As they dug a little deeper, they encountered a bit of a surprise: one of the individuals in the group was connected to a stolen trailer!

That’s right, folks! The officers discovered that Russell Coffey, one of the ATV riders, had a stolen trailer attached to his pickup truck. Talk about an unexpected twist in a seemingly innocent ride through the park! Upon finding this evidence, the officers wasted no time in placing Coffey under arrest. He has since been formally charged with Possession of Stolen Property and has been released pending his upcoming court date.
