CAT ISLAND, SC (July 15/12:15 PM) – The manhunt for two men suspected in this morning’s burglary at a Cat Island restaurant has ended.
One of the suspects sought during the search of the island, 29-year old Chad Dennis Burnett, was located and apprehended by members of the Sheriff’s Office K9 Tracking Team just before 11 am. The remaining suspect, 16-year old Cole James Jackson, remains at large.
Two additional suspects, 19-year old James Ralph Elam III of Tennessee and 18-year old Jose Benjamin Ruelas of Lady’s Island were arrested early this morning in connection with the same burglary, after deputies located them trying to flee on the Island Causeway.
All four suspects will face charges of 2nd degree Burglary for the break in at the British Open Pub early this morning. A Sheriff’s deputy proactively patrolling the area at approximately 3:00 am this morning noticed signs of forced entry to the business, in the form of several broken windows. As the deputy conducted a search of the building, the four suspects fled the area on foot.
Deputies located a suspicious vehicle left nearby, and upon further investigation determined the vehicle had been left behind by burglary suspects. A perimeter was established and a search mounted for the suspects, who were believed to be roaming the area on foot. Following more than 8 hours of searching, the capture of three suspects, and the positive identification of the fourth suspect, the perimeter was dissolved and the K9 search discontinued.
Nothing was reportedly stolen during the burglary at the British Open Pub, as it appears the deputy arrived just as the suspects had made entry to the restaurant.
Further charges may be pending against the four men, as investigators follow up on information linking them to numerous other burglaries in the area.
The Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of suspect, Cole James Jackson, to contact either Investigator SSgt. B. Baird at 843-255-3405 or the Beaufort County Dispatch Center at 843-524-2777. Jackson is a white male, 16-years of age, approximately 6’00”, 180 lbs with brown hair and brown eyes. His last known address is 4 Cordata Ct on Lady’s Island.
