Police: Hardeeville teen sought in St. Helena shooting arrested on Wednesday
A Hardeeville teen was arrested Wednesday and charged with two counts of attempted murder more than a week after deputies named him a suspect in a St. Helena Island shooting.
Jeremy Toomer, 19, turned himself in to Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday morning with the help of an attorney. He was charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
Toomer’s bond has not yet been set, and he is in custody at the Beaufort County Detention Center.
The 19-year-old allegedly shot two men earlier this month at the Wallace Creek Boat Landing on St. Helena Island and left before deputies arrived on the scene, according to earlier reporting.
