TABOR CITY - Columbus County deputies on Wednesday morning captured a man wanted in a double murder near Loris, S.C., Sgt. Troy Webb of the Columbus County Sheriff's Office said.
Odom Bryan Bryant, 22, is charged in Horry County, S.C., warrants with two counts of murder and first-degree burglary in the Aug. 19 slayings of Amos Hatfield, 66, and his son Thomas Howard Hatfield, 40, in their Red Bluff Road home.
Bryant is being held at the Columbus County Detention Center in Whiteville without bond on the fugitive warrant from South Carolina. Probation violation warrants from Columbus County also were served on him, Webb said.
Deputies received a tip that Bryant had been spending time with his mother in the Ridgeland Acres area east of Tabor City, Webb said. Several deputies hid in a wooded area as other officers approached the home from the front.
"He went to running, to the woods and right to us," Webb said. "He gave up."
Detectives from the Horry County Police Department were present for the arrest, Webb said.
Already jailed on identical charges are the elder Hatfield's widow, Sandy Lee Locklear, 40, of Tabor City, and Nehemiah James Evans, 28, of Nichols, S.C.
Locklear was taken into custody soon after police were called to the Hatfield home, about 4:30 on that Sunday morning, and formally charged a day later.
Locklear was charged with filing a false police report, accused of reporting a home invasion that did not occur, and claiming that she was sexually assaulted, Horry County police spokesman Sgt. Robert Kegler said.
Evans surrendered to police in Horry County on Aug. 24.
Both Locklear and Evans are being held without bond at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center near Conway, S.C.
