Bruce McLaughlin Jr., 30, was not a nice man. He and another prisoner beat up two "guards" and escaped from custody of the Pickens County S.O. recently.
McLaughlin kicked in the back door about 3 a.m. and grabbed a kitchen knife. He then headed towards the bedroom where the resident was home alone, except for her pistol. She felt threatened and blew his head off. His buddy in the escape, Timothy Dill, is being charged with escape, two counts of kidnapping, first degree assault, battery and felonious mopery. He was awaiting trial on charges of criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
The county sheriff, Rick Clark, congratulated the unnamed shooter. Sheriff Clark pointed out that the bad guy was a very large man and things could have gone poorly for her had she not been armed and trained.
The "guards" are OK and expected to return to work. Other prisoners broke down the door where the two bad guys locked them in while making their escape.
The dead guy had an extensive record of generally assholeish behavior.
