COLUMBIA, S.C. — There was a peaceful end to a Tuesday morning multi-law enforcement agency search for a suspect at Columbia's Colony Apartments, even though the suspect has not yet been apprehended.
A heavy police presence included officers from the Columbia Police Department and the United States Marshals Service on the scene at the complex, which is off West Beltline Boulevard, searching for Harrison Brodrick Brown.
Police say Brown was wanted in Calhoun County on gun and stalking charges.
Multiple police vehicles as well as officers in tactical gear could be seen gathering in front of an apartment unit during the morning hours, however, CPD said there was no danger to the public.
Meanwhile, the Bailey Street entrance into the apartment community was blocked off to all traffic.
CPD provided tactical support for the US Marshals and the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office is now trying to locate Brown. The CPD crises negotiators were able to make contact with Brown, but Brown has not yet been arrested.
Law enforcement considers Brown to be armed and dangerous and the search for him is considered to be high risk.
Anyone with information about Brown's whereabouts are asked to call 911, or contact Midlands Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC or online at midlandscrimestoppers.com
