Man Arrested for DUI, Driving 115 MPH in Kershaw County

KERSHAW COUNTY, S.C. (WOLO) — A man was arrested over the weekend for allegedly driving 115 miles per hour on Interstate 20 in Kershaw County. On Saturday, November 28 a Kershaw County Sheriff‘s Office traffic enforcement officer arrested 28-year-old John Hannah for driving under the influence after he was stopped for speeding. This is the second time in 5 months that Hannah has been arrested by the KCSO traffic unit for DUI, officials say. The first arrest came in June 2015 when Hannah was clocked traveling at 114 mph, also on I-20. Officials say that during the weekend the KCSO traffic unit made 12 DUI arrests for impaired driving with alcohol, heroin and marijuana use being contributing factors. “The traffic fatality rate in Kershaw County is unacceptable and will be addressed,” said Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews. “If we had experienced 19 homicides, the public would demand immediate action. We will not treat traffic fatalities any differently. The acceptable traffic fatality rate in my family is zero and I suspect it would be that for every family.”
