Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office deputies apprehended a fugitive after a brief search Tuesday morning in Seabrook.
At 11: 55 a.m., deputies apprehended 30-year-old Quinton Delaney, who had several outstanding General Sessions bench warrants, after encountering him in the area of Young Circle and Stuart Point Road in Seabrook.
“Deputies spotted him in a vehicle with someone else and he took off,” Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Maj. Angela Viens said.
An advisory on social media warned of a “heavy law enforcement presence in the area as the search continues” before Delaney was apprehended.
The bench warrants were issued for Delaney in May over his failure to appear for three previous charges – a 2019 charge for Unlawful Carry Of A Pistol and two 2020 charges of Discharging a Firearm In A Dwelling.
