| [NYPost] South Carolina police have released new information in the line-of-duty death of a sheriff’s deputy who was killed during a traffic stop earlier this week. Two people have been arrested in connection with Tuesday’s incident in Greenville that resulted in the death of Greenville County Sheriff’s Sgt. Conley Jumper, the State Law Enforcement Division said Thursday. Police charged 37-year-old Ray Kelly with murder; resisting arrest with a deadly weapon; assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature; weapons possession during a violent crime; and two counts each of drug trafficking and resisting arrest, according to a Thursday press release. They also charged Tornell Laureano, 24, with drug trafficking and weapons possession during a violent crime. Jumper, a 52-year-old husband and father, was killed after officers stopped a vehicle on Interstate 85 on Tuesday afternoon, sheriff’s officials said. A struggle occurred after at least one of the occupants fought with officers. When Jumper arrived on the scene, Kelly was “actively fighting and resisting deputies’ lawful arrest,” according to the affidavit for his arrest. He allegedly continued to resist and began “pushing, striking and pulling away” from the deputies, the document states. “Kelly was able to get back into the vehicle as he continued to resist arrest by Deputy Jumper and intentionally drove the Nissan into heavy, oncoming highway traffic,” police said. “Kelly continued to drive away while dragging Deputy Jumper in front of oncoming vehicles, which proximately caused a collision resulting in Deputy Jumper’s death.” The stopped car had collided with an 18-wheeler, authorities said, and a sheriff’s car that was arriving to provide assistance then struck the vehicle that officers had initially stopped. |
