Shootout After High Speed Chase in Bennettsville
A Pennsylvania couple Charles Hoffman and Beverly Burly were arrested after a 20 mile chase in two counties that ended in a Bennettsville house gun battle described as like Bonnie and Clyde. Officers said both were wounded and treated before transfer to Columbia prison hospital. The pursuit began when a man at a Dillon gas station fled after a clerk tried to stop him for unpaid gasoline. A second patrol car joined, exchange of gunfire followed, and the couple fled on foot before officers flushed them out with tear gas. No officers were wounded.
