NARRATIVE: Daniel Judson Young, age 29 was arrested yesterday and charged with a number of offenses arising out of an incident which began as a traffic stop. At approximately 8:30 AM on June 13, 2017 a Florence County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a vehicle on McCurdy Road in Florence, SC. The vehicle, which turned out to be stolen, failed to stop for the deputy’s blue light resulting in a vehicle pursuit in the National Cemetery Road area.

Deputies quickly established a perimeter and a FCSO Canine Tracking Team, assisted by the FCSO Aviation Unit located the suspect a short distance from the vehicle and was taken into custody around 10:00 AM.

Young is being held at the Florence County Detention Center on bonds totaling over $13,000.
