Escapee on the Run

Fairfax County, SC

Perry Sullivan

Two days ago, this charming specimen, already in custody on a Burglary charge in GA, managed to escape from a Stephens County, GA Sheriff's Deputy while he was being transported from Colleton County, SC.

During the ride through Allendale County, SC, Sullivan told the Deputy that he was going to be sick.  The deputy pulled off to the side of the road to let Sullivan be sick anywhere else besides inside the car. Unbeknownst to the Deputy, Sullivan had slipped his cuffs and his hands were free. They struggled, and Sullivan over-powered the Deputy, escaping in the patrol car, which contained a shotgun and a .40 cal handgun.
The chase was on!

The Deputy was not hurt and the patrol car was found a few hours later, minus the handgun, in Allendale County, SC.  Several jurisdictions converged on the area and a wide net was cast.  A tip was received from a woman who was on her way in to work Friday morning.  Evidently, Sullivan approached her while she was in her car, pointed the gun at her, and most probably was intent on carjacking her.  She stepped on the gas pedal and hauled ass out of there. A quick response by law enforcement to the area and police managed to corner him in a wooded area by a cemetery in Fairfax County, trapping him for almost a day before he was finally taken in to custody on Saturday morning.


I was scanning the news articles about the escapee in one of the local on line newspapers. Upon reading the comments section of the local Charleston, SC paper, I happened across this particular statement, and well....it's difficult to explain.  I'll let you make your own conclusions.

Dear Citzens of allendale and fairfax,
I'm writting this post as someone who personally knows perry sullivan! And he is loved very much by his family and nieghbors! What the news never did during this entire ordeal was reach out to his family and even try to understand why hewas in this situation! We deeply apologize for the actions that have taken place and the fear it has caused you guys! He never had intentions of harming anyone he was simply trying to flee! You see this whole ordeal originaly started with a drug induced burgarly by mistake! He was then put in jail when he got out he wanted to stay clean that was all he spoke of but he was let out to snitch! The investagators told him if he got this many people he would go to a rehab and get help! Well in order to snitch he had to get back on drugs bc that was the only way he could bust anyone! He couldnt do it sober! Well after he did as they said they wanted him to do more and he wanted his help that he was promised! Needless to say he had been strung along and they didnt keep their end of the deal! So he just gave up and futher out there! Then he decided to flee to charleston and live a quiet life making money off tattoos! But im sure no one cares what im writing we do! Just imagine if itwas ur family or someone like ur bro! What i'm trying to say we are deeply sorry for the fear he caused anyone in his drug induced life atthe moement but he isnt the person as mean or cruel as what yall have seen! And may i add he was dianosed as achild as parynoid scitzophrinic! So we apologize for his family and dear friends! And thank godthat this all enede well! We are sorry!

I'm guessing that by the family making an apology, it somehow makes up for the long list of felonies their dear loved one committed.  It's a bizarre tale of a nitwit family making excuses for the poor moron who was "dianosed as ...parynoid scitzophrinic."
