Suspect Caught After Dollar General Break-In

Early Wednesday morning in Dorchester County, deputies responded to a Dollar General break-in on Orangeburg Road — only to catch the suspect, Javon Shakazz Smith, moments later. Already wanted for a similar burglary, Smith fled when officers approached him around 5 AM, leading to a high-stakes chase that ended with K-9 Yoda tracking him to a backyard on English Road. Smith now faces second-degree burglary and resisting arrest charges, and the Sheriff praised his team — especially the K-9 unit — for the swift takedown. The investigation remains open as authorities dig deeper into the case. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
