In Aiken, York, Richland, and Lexington counties arrests totaled 20, 31, 29, and 14 respectively. Several weapons were seized. officers faced occasional resistance. The push aims to enforce probation and parole conditions and return violators to jail, a program begun in 1999 after about 11,000 warrants were outstanding.
