From Service to Sheriff`s Deputy – Veterans Make an Impact at CCSO
Meet Deputy Walker, who joined CCSO after serving as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army. Like many veterans, Walker was driven by a desire to continue protecting others and law enforcement gave him that purpose.
He has now been with CCSO for 3 years, bringing the same dedication and discipline he learned in the military to the streets of Cleveland County.
👮♂️ “Ethics and morals make a good deputy. Always remain humble.” – Walker’s advice to future deputies speaks to the leadership and integrity veterans bring to our team.
If you`re a veteran looking for your next mission, CCSO is ready to welcome you. Your skills, values, and experience make you an ideal candidate to serve and protect in uniform again—this time, at home.

#FourthOfJuly #CCSO
🎆 Stay Safe This 4th of July with CCSO! 🎆
As we gear up for fireworks, family cookouts, and fun in the sun, the Cleveland County Sheriff`s Office wants to make sure your holiday is filled with celebration—not complications. 🌭☀️🏖️
Whether you`re firing up the grill or hitting the water, here are a few friendly reminders to keep everyone—including our furry friends—safe this Independence Day:
🔥 Grill & Picnic Safety: Keep grills at a safe distance from your home and never leave them unattended. Pack perishables with plenty of ice and toss anything that’s been sitting out too long.
🎇 Fireworks Safety: Leave the big displays to the pros! If you`re lighting sparklers or small fireworks, keep water nearby, follow local laws, and always supervise children closely.
🌊 Beach & Open Water Safety: Life jackets save lives—make them a must for kids and weak swimmers. Keep a close watch, even in shallow water, and beware of rip currents and changing weather.
🌡️ Summer Heat Safety: Hydrate often, find shade when you can, and never leave kids or pets in a parked car. Heatstroke can happen fast—stay cool and aware.
🐾 Pet Safety: Fireworks can frighten pets—keep them indoors with soft music or white noise. Make sure they’re microchipped and wearing ID tags just in case.
🏊 Pool Party Safety: Designate a “Water Watcher” at all times. Keep gates secured and remove toys from the pool when not in use to prevent tempting little adventurers.
🎉 Let’s Celebrate Smart: Your safety is our priority—and together, we can make this 4th of July a joyful, accident-free celebration.
From all of us at CCSO: Happy Independence Day, Cleveland County! 🧯🕶️

*** Press Release ***
On Saturday, July 19, 2025, at approximately 0239, the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office received notification that a stolen vehicle had just entered our county traveling northbound on Highway 18 at Randall Road. The vehicle was a Chevy Tahoe that displayed South Carolina plate of 8144SB. Deputies with the Sheriff’s Office got behind the vehicle near Davis Road and S. Lafayette Street (Highway 18) in an attempt to stop the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle immediately fled and a pursuit was initiated for felony possession of a stolen motor vehicle.
The pursuit lasted approximately 5 miles and ended at the South Carolina Line on Dravo Road. Deputies continued on Dravo and observed the vehicle fail to reduce speed to make the turn on Dravo at South Carolina State Road 11-98. The vehicle ran head first into a ditch deploying the air bags. A male subject ran from the driver’s seat heading south on Dravo Road extension in South Carolina. Deputies continued to the intersection to identify and apprehend any passengers inside the vehicle. The back passenger was identified as Marvin Alex Woody (12-21-2004) and found to be in possession of Methamphetamine. He was arrested and transferred to Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office. The front passenger was conscious when deputies first made contact with her, but became unconscious shortly thereafter. CPR and life saving measures were taken, but were unsuccessful. Her name is not being released until her family members can be notified by South Carolina Highway Patrol.
The driver of the vehicle was later apprehended by the York County Sheriff’s Office bloodhound team. He was treated for injuries related to the accident. The driver, identified as Garry Tyrone Martin of Gaffney, will face multiple charges in North Carolina to include:
Possession of a stolen motor vehicle, felony elude, careless and reckless driving, and several traffic related offenses. South Carolina HP will pursue additional charges related to the accident. ... See MoreSee Less
