Deputies: Man Threatens Pickens County Sheriff

The Pickens County Sheriff's office has obtained warrants for the arrest of a man who threatened the life of Sheriff David Stone.

Deputies have obtained warrants charging Teddy Austin Arnold with threatening the life of a public official and unlawful use of a telephone after he allegedly placed several calls to the Pickens County Sheriff's Department to make threats against the Sheriff.

"Stone's a-- is going to get shot for turning against the Klan to turn Nazi," the incident report states.

The Sheriff's office said it is unclear what motivated Arnold's threat against Stone.

One dispatcher noted that Arnold called and said the name "Adolf Hitler" three times before disconnecting.

The phone calls were placed by Arnold on Nov. 24 at approximately 1:30 a.m. from a room at the Intown Suites on Wade Hampton Boulevard, officials said.

His 144 page incident rap sheet consists of numerous charges of burglaries, grand larcenies, kidnapping, second degree murder, unlawful carrying of a weapon, malicious injury to property, second degree arson, assault and battery, and numerous motor vehicle violations.
