SOUTH CAROLINA — A Darlington County man has been arrested in connection with a carjacking that occurred Monday in Florence, police said.
According to the Florence Police Department, 30-year-old Antoine Laurell Lawrence was charged with carjacking and aggravated breach of peace following the incident in the 500 block of W. Palmetto Street.
Investigators said Lawrence approached the victim while holding his waist in a way that made the victim believe he was armed. He then took the victim’s keys, got into a work van, and drove off.
Lawrence was later arrested and booked into the Florence County Detention Center. Records show he received a $5,000 surety bond on the aggravated breach of peace charge.
“The Florence Police Department remains committed to keeping our community safe and holding offenders accountable,” police said in a statement.
