Beaufort, South Carolina Man Charged in Fatal Wreck
Wendell Gregory, a thirty year old man from Beaufort, was charged with two felony DUI counts last week following a single car accident on St. Helena on August 25, 2007. Mr. Gregory was the driver of a Lincoln sedan that left the roadway and struck a tree. The car’s owner, Susan Fawcett of Lady’s Island, was a rear passenger in the wreck and died of her injuries at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Another passenger, Michael Cohen, was also injured in the collision. The Highway Patrol has not released details of the incident.
The Beaufort Gazette reports that Mr. Gregory has been arrested 26 times just in Beaufort County and a SLED check revealed numerous convictions for driving and drug offenses. A recent inquiry indicates that Mr. Gregory is already out of jail on bond.
