BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in locating a man they say is armed and dangerous. Deputies are looking for 21-year-old Timothy John Creel of Horseford Road in Ridgeville.
On May 23, a Berkeley County deputy was patrolling Wind Gate Mobile Home Park in the Summerville area of Berkeley County when he noticed a vehicle being operated with defective equipment.
The deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop at the intersection of Myers Road and St. James Avenue. The vehicle made a left turn onto St. James Avenue and continued to drive down the median lane, ignoring the deputy’s blue lights and sirens. The driver, later identified as Creel, then opened the driver’s door in an attempt to flee the vehicle. Creel fled from the vehicle armed with a silver handgun.
The back-seat passenger, Dillion Eugene Perez, attempted to flee from the vehicle as well but deputies said he was unable to due to the vehicle still being in motion. Perez was then observed throwing a black handgun from the vehicle into the woods. Perez and the front-seat passenger, Alexis Dakota Davidson, were held at gunpoint while assisting deputies made their way to the scene. Perez and Davidson were then detained.
Berkeley County deputies and BCSO K-9 Unit, with assistance from Goose Creek Police Department, searched for Creel but were met with negative results.
Deputies were able to recover two firearms from the scene and one of the firearms was reported stolen out of Dorchester County. A search of the vehicle yielded a cigar package that contained MDMA (Ecstasy) and that was located in the immediate area of where Davidson was sitting.
Davidson was arrested and charged with Possession of MDMA. Perez was arrested and charged with simple possession of marijuana, unlawful Carry of a firearm and convicted violent felon in possession of a firearm.
Currently, Creel is wanted by Berkeley County for failure to stop for blue lights and sirens, unlawful carry of a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm and convicted violent felon in possession of a firearm. Creel also has outstanding felony warrants with the South Carolina Department of Corrections.
