From Edisto Beach Police Chief Daniel Seyle:

Posted 4/14/23  As most of you know, there was a shooting last weekend on the Isle of Palms.  Today the police were monitoring Folly Beach due to social media rumors of a possible large gathering of teenagers there.  I have not heard of any problems at Folly so far.  Please be aware of your surroundings and call 911 if you have something to report.  Do NOT call Town Hall or the Police Department.  911 can get the officers on duty where they need to be the quickest.  I am in contact with the Colleton County Sheriff’s Office, the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office, SLED and DNR and there is a significant police presence on the beach this week.  Thank you.
