Around 5:30 p.m., an Horry County police officer saw a man being thrown out of a gray Dodge hatchback that was traveling west on Highway 90 near Live Oak Street in Longs, according to an incident report obtained by The Sun News.
Little allegedly sprayed two victims with pepper spray while holding them down in the backseat, according to Horry County police.
Bromell, who was in the driver’s seat, ignored the police officer’s commands to stop and drove onto Vereen Avenue, where she was then thrown out of the car by Little, according to reports.
Officers pursued the vehicle onto Cove Lane, where it traveled onto Mill Swamp. At this point, the chase ended and officers returned to look for the female driver, according to the report.
The car was later located off Mill Swamp, a wooden path, without either suspect in the car.
Officers who spoke with the first male victim on Highway 90 determined that he and his girlfriend had their car stolen from them.
