Sumter, SC – A wanted man in Sumter County was taken into custody following a foot chase with deputies Tuesday afternoon, according to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies identified the suspect as Ronnie Dashawn Abram, Jr., 29, of Decatur Street, who was arrested on December 30, 2025 after allegedly fleeing a traffic stop.
According to deputies, officers on patrol near South Pike East observed a vehicle with suspended tags and attempted a traffic stop. The driver reportedly pulled into a convenience store on Miller Road before fleeing on foot.
A brief chase ensued — including the suspect jumping a fence — before deputies detained him. Investigators say they recovered marijuana, a scale, and multiple drug packages from Abram’s possession.
Authorities later confirmed that Abram was also wanted on additional warrants for manufacturing and distributing narcotics, including cocaine base, marijuana, and Schedule I–IV substances with intent to distribute.
After his arrest, Abram was transported to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center and later released on bond, officials said.
