Man Receives $135,500 Bond After Being Shot in Domestic Situation

A South Carolina man is issued hefty bond after a domestic situation that led to him getting shot.  According to Chief Investigator with the Hart County Sheriff’s Office, Chris Carroll, on Sunday night around 11:30, deputies responded to a call on Royston Highway 29 near Frank Crook Road.  Upon arrival, officers learned that the man had been shot and a female had been stabbed.  Witnesses stated that the man was attacking the woman, who is his mother of his girlfriend, with a knife cutting her several times.  Another man came to the house and found the suspect outside choking the lady while she screamed for help.  The second man pulled out a gun and shot the first man.  The man who was shot ran into the house where he was found by deputies holding a knife in a back room.  After being ordered to drop the knife, the man did so, but was still non-compliant with officers.  Deputies then tazed him and took him into custody.  The man was transported to AnMed Hospital and treated for the gunshot wound. He was later released to the Hart County Detention Center.  The female was taken by family members to the hospital for treatment.

The man is identified as Jesse Landon Parkins, 30, of York, South Carolina.  Carroll says Parkins had been living at the home on Royston Highway for a while.  He has been charged with 5 counts of felony obstruction, 2 counts of Aggravated Assault, 2 counts of Battery, 1 count of Possession of a Knife during the commission of a crime, 1 count of Simple Battery, and 1 count of Cruelty to Children.

On Monday, Hart County Chief Magistrate Judge Thomas Jordan set Parkins’s bond at $135,500.  Judge Jordan further stipulated Parkins is to have no contact with the victims and to not be at the address.

No word on the cause of the incident nor has a trial date has been set.

 

CORRECTION: WLHR News errantly reported that Jesse Landon Parkins was released on bond on 9/3/24.  Parkins bond was set at $135,500 with no contact with the family or address at his bond hearing.  However, Parkins is still in the Hart County Detention Center as of 9/4/24 at 4:35pm.
