Derick Je-Vard George, a 50-year-old man from Florence, has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of armed robbery, carjacking, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. The arrest comes after George allegedly threatened clerks during two armed robberies at convenience stores on W. Palmetto Street, one occurring just days prior to his capture.
Authorities report that George attempted to carjack a vehicle at knifepoint earlier in January, although this initial attempt was unsuccessful.

This case raises concerns in the community about safety and crime trends in the area.
