1. A former Charleston County detention deputy has been charged with assault and battery. Aaron Turner Renaud, 38, was charged with two counts of second-degree assault and battery after throwing a juvenile against the wall, railing, and floor of the elevator last November. The second charge stems from a prior incident in which Renaud was accused of pushing the victim, causing him to hit his head and lose consciousness. (Live 5 News WCSC)
