(Horry County, SC)-- Charges are being dropped against a former Horry County deputy.
Joshua Bishop is one of two deputies who were transporting two mental health patients in a transport van in 2018 when it was swept away by floodwaters during Hurricane Florence, leading to both women drowning.
Bishop had been charged with involuntary manslaughter, but the Twelfth Circuit Solicitor says there is a lack of evidence in the case.
The deputy who was driving the van was convicted in the women's deaths in May and sentenced to 18 years.
