Road rage incident leads to 2 arrests in Hartsville area, deputies say
DARLINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — Two men were arrested following a November road rage incident in the Hartsville area where one man pulled a gun and the other impersonated a law enforcement officer, the Darlington County Sheriff's Office said. Charles Mixon Jr. was charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer and was arrested Wednesday. John Walters III was charged with reckless driving and breach of peace high and aggravated and was arrested Thursday. The incident happened on Nov. 11, when Mixon and Walters were driving on West Bobo Newsom Highway, arrest warrants said. Walters was driving a 2023 Indian Scout motorcycle and Mixon was driving a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado. Walters drove beside Mixon and attempted to get his attention, warrants show. He then weaved from one lane to another, tailgated Mixon, then weaved again and chased down the truck to drive along side of it. Mixon later stopped at a local business, and Walters followed him there, the sheriff's office said. The two began to argue, and Walters pulled a gun. In response, Mixon pulled out a retired law enforcement badge and verbally signed that he was a police officer, according to an arrest warrant. The incident is being investigated by the Darlington County Sheriff's Office, and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is assisting. * * * Jordan White is a Digital Producer at News13.
