10/3/2022
The Gaffney Police Department said a suspect is in custody after a call prompted a school lockdown on Monday.
Around 2:50 p.m. police said a witness described seeing a man with a long rifle or shotgun go into the woods near Ewing Middle School on East Jr. High Road.
The school was placed on lockdown as a precaution.
Police located Jamie Dale Patterson on Dogwood Drive and, after backtracking his path, found a camouflaged shotgun behind a residence that used to be his mother’s home.
He is charged with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
The school lockdown was lifted after Patterson was taken into custody.
