Woman arrested after gun incident at Horry County campground | Myrtle Beach News

SURFSIDE BEACH – Horry County police arrested a woman at the Ocean Lakes Family Campground on July 7 after she pointed a gun at people and then barricaded herself inside a home, authorities said.

According to a police report, police responded to the South Strand campground at around 6:45 p.m. after receiving a call about a “weapons incident.” Police had previously been at the address on a report of an intoxicated woman.

Ocean Lakes security told police that a woman may have fired several shots and pointed a gun at people at the campground, the report said. Four witnesses said the woman came out of her house and pointed a gun at them “because she thought they had taken her dog,” the report said. A fifth witness said she pointed a gun at him when she went back inside.

Officers surrounded the house because the woman was carrying a weapon when she entered the house, the report said. A special operations team was called in to help.

However, the woman eventually came outside and was handcuffed.

At 9:40 p.m., police announced that the suspect was in custody and no injuries were reported.

Police presented a judge with arrest warrants for displaying a firearm. The woman was not identified in the report.
