SULLIVAN’S ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) – Sullivan’s Island Police say they are investigating a social media video that shows “possible criminal actions” by a person who reported an unlicensed driver.
The video shows a man police say called 911 confronting the driver of a pickup truck in the 2500 block if Ion Avenue where police responded.
Sullivan’s Island Deputy Police Chief Monty Anders said they learned of the video after the fact, adding there is “an active criminal investigation into the actions of the caller.”
In the video, the 911 caller asks the driver multiple times if he is from Mexico and then says, “You are going back to Mexico.”
During the video, a man who reported a driver as unlicensed told a bystander he had taken the keys of a man he reported to police as an unlicensed driver.(Provided)
“No, no, no, no. You cannot drive. You have no driver’s license. You have no license. You are going back. We have the cops coming, Bo,” he says.
When the driver, who apparently does not speak English, attempts to respond, the caller tells him, “Don’t be speaking that pig Latin, man. This is America. We speak English in America.”
A man called Sullivan’s Island Police to report an unlicensed driver and police later learned about this video recorded before they arrived at the scene.
At one point, the caller holds up a set of keys, telling a bystander, “I got his key. I got his key.”
Police have not released the name of the caller or specified what charges he might face.
However, Sullivan’s Island Police Chief Glenn Meadows said no charges were filed against the driver or any passengers in the truck.
