‘Enough is Enough’: Georgetown Sheriff looking to close bar after shootings

Days after two people were gunned down at a Georgetown bar, the Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office is saying “enough is enough” and trying to close the establishment

On March 29, two people were shot and killed and a third was serious wounded at TC’s Lounge on Petigru Road in Pawleys Island. On Wednesday night, police named 30-year-old Jarvis Trymaine Jamison as a suspect in the shooting and are asking for the public’s help in locating the 6-foot-2, 185-pound man on charges of murder and possession of a deadly weapon during a violent crime.

In July 2018, another person was shot and killed on the property as well.

Georgetown Sheriff A. Lane Cribb said his office will explore legal avenues to close the lounge.

“This behavior is not representative of the Pawleys Island community,” Lane Cribb said in a press release. “They deserve better, and I will do everything in my power to make sure this location and every other one like it will cease to exist. We will use any legal authority we deem appropriate to make this happen.”
