A Trenton man was found hanged in the Aiken County Jail on Tuesday night after getting arrested a third time for DUI, authorities said.
Adam Crow, 36, was discovered hanged in his cell Tuesday night. He had been booked earlier in the day for DUI 3rd and various other charges after his arrest by the S.C. Highway Patrol. He is shown above from his Facebook page and at right from a mugshot.
The hanging death is being investigated by the Aiken County Coroner’s Office and SLED. Mr. Crow was in the cell alone at the time of the incident.
In addition to DUI 3rd, he had been charged with disorderly conduct and no proof of insurance.
Here’s an official statement from Capt. Nick Gallam, who oversees the jail:
“The Aiken County Sheriff’s Office has called in South Carolina Law Enforcement Division and the Aiken County Coroner’s Office to conduct an investigation into an inmate’s death at the Aiken County Detention Center.
