BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Field Operations, at the Charleston Seaport arrested a Goose Creek woman on Wednesday who was wanted in connection with a recent murder.
Three days ago, Berkeley County detectives along with the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force were conducting a fugitive investigation in the Goose Creek area involving the whereabouts of 25-year-old, Randall D. Myers, of Goose Creek.
His charges stem from the Sept. 23 shooting of Ivan Greene, 47, in North Charleston’s Liberty Hill neighborhood.
The investigation resulted in the contact with Patricia Myers, 49, of Goose Creek.
According to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office, deputies determined that Myers had been in contact with her son, who’s wanted murder suspect, and failed to contact authorities with information that would’ve helped locate him.
She was located by investigators after she boarded a cruise ship at the Charleston Port. With the assistance of the Office of Field Operations of the United States Custom and Border Protection, she was arrested for obstruction of Justice and transported to the Hill-Finklea Detention Center.
“Intercepting dangerous criminals in coordination with our law enforcement partners is an important part of what Customs and Border Protection does to ensure people entering and departing the United States do not pose a risk to our communities, or escape justice,” said Robert Fencel, CBP Area Port Director in Charleston.
At this time, her son is still currently on the run and wanted for murder from North Charleston. It is believed he is in the Goose Creek area. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Myers is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at (843) 554-1111.
On average, CBP arrests 21 wanted persons at air, land and sea ports of entry across the United States. Additionally, CBP routinely conducts inspection operations on arriving and departing international passenger vessels and intercepts narcotics, weapons, currency, prohibited agriculture products, and other illicit items.
