OCONEE COUNTY, S.C. (WLOS) — The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in locating a suspect who they say fired shots at a deputy overnight.
The sheriff's office says a deputy from the Uniform Patrol Division observed a black Ford Ranger driving on the wrong side of the road late Saturday night on Whetstone Road in Mountain Rest, South Carolina. The deputy was able to pull the driver over on Lex Road initially, but then the suspect driver, later identified as Zackary Edwin Sterling Fiskeaux, 33, of Mountain Rest, took off back onto the roadway. A vehicle chase ensued.
Officials say the driver of the truck exited the vehicle near Oak Haven Drive and fled into the woods. The vehicle went off the road into a ditch.
The sheriff's office says the deputy then pursued Fiskeaux into the woods where the suspect fired shots at the deputy. The deputy was not injured and did not discharge his weapon because there were homes in the area, a press release from the sheriff's office noted.
Deputies were able to detain a woman who was in the suspect vehicle, identified as Adriane Christine Coble, 28, who had an outstanding arrest warrant for Unlawful Neglect of a Child. Coble was also charged with Transporting Alcohol with a Broken Seal.
Coble was released from the Oconee County Detention Center on Sunday on combined $10,257.50 personal recognizance bond, officials say.
Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the area in an effort to locate Fiskeaux but he has not been located as of Sunday evening, Jan. 30.
The sheriff's office says Fiskeaux has been charged with one count each of the following:
Attempted Murder
Driving under Suspension
Failure to Stop for a Blue Light
Operating an Unregistered Vehicle
Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon
Possession of a Weapon during Commission of a Violent Crime
Reckless Driving
Displaying a License Plate Registered to another Vehicle
If you have any information on the whereabouts of Fiskeaux, you are asked to call 911 immediately. Citizens should not approach Fiskeaux and should consider him armed and dangerous, the Oconee County Sheriff's Office says.
