Berkeley County Sheriff Henry Wayne DeWitt was released on a personal recognizance bond Sunday night following an early morning arrest for driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident.
According to South Carolina Highway Patrol, DeWitt crashed into another car at the intersection of Red Bank Road and Henry E. Brown Junior Boulevard in Berkeley County on Sunday around 5 a.m. The other driver suffered minor injuries, but authorities say DeWitt took off after the accident and was later tracked down by Highway Patrol.
