Georgetown County Detention Center employee arrested for pointing gun at a person
A Georgetown jail employee is accused of pulling a gun on another person during a dispute.
Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Erica Livingston, 41, on Tuesday outside a home on Myrtle Road in Andrews. She is being held at the Georgetown County Detention Center pending a bond hearing.
Police responded to Myrtle Road Apartments after Livingston called them about an unwanted female at her apartment. Livingston told police that her boyfriend invited the woman over and police responded that they could not remove her since she was invited. Livingston told police that “she knew what to do” and that the woman “would get hers.”
The police report details that Livingston kept the woman trapped in the driveway with her car while aiming a gun at her. The report says that the woman had to try multiple times to exit the parking lot with her car. Police pulled Livingston over and found the gun in her purse. She admitted to blocking the woman in and was arrested.
Livingston is a corrections officer at the Georgetown County Detention Center. She was off-duty at the time of her arrest. A news release detailing her arrest did not say if she was still employed.
