Residents of South Carolina are on high alert as local law enforcement and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) intensify their search for an inmate who escaped from a detention center in Elizabethton, Tennessee. The escaped inmate, identified as 43-year-old Billy Reed Fletcher, is believed to have crossed state lines and is assumed to be in South Carolina.
The escape incident occurred last week on June 20, 2024, leading to a multi-state search that has gained increasing traction as recent developments unfold.
On Monday, June 24, 2024, Fletcher was reportedly spotted at a Walmart premises in Greenville County, South Carolina. This was the most recent sighting and has led to a direct shift in the manhunt towards South Carolina. Law enforcement officers have urged the local community to cooperate fully to ensure the recapture of the inmate.
SLED, the lead agency dealing with the case, is urging members of the public to remain vigilant and report any potential sightings or information related to Fletcher’s whereabouts. Officials are encouraging anyone with information to call (803) 737-9000 or email their tips to tips@sled.sc.gov.
Given the possible threat to public safety, residents are being warned not to approach Fletcher but, instead, immediately report sightings to law enforcement. Law enforcement officials have reinforced their commitment to ensuring the safety of the public and bringing those who have violated the law to justice.
