Traffic stop leads to theft arrest
Technology helped
deputies from the Camden
County Sheriff’s Office
(CCSO) catch a suspect in a
chain of Walmart store thefts
last week.
At 10:45 a.m. Jan. 29,
Deputy Will Woolard
stopped a silver Dodge
Charger that was making an
improper lane change on
southbound Interstate 95.
The driver was Brian O’Neal
Williams, 36, of Green Cove
Springs, Fla. Williams seemed
nervous and had inconsisten
cies in the story he told
Woolard, which led to a
search of his vehicle.
A K-9 unit found traces of
marijuana and two plastic bins
filled with merchandise. En
ergy drinks, razors, medicines,
skin cream, toothbrushes, a
china set, dog food and teeth
whitening strips were found
in the bins. Williams said he
had no receipts because he
bought the items at a flea
market in Jacksonville.
Deputies then checked
Williams’ GPS unit after
learning that he may have
stolen the items from Wal
mart stores in South Carolina
and located a store in
Charleston. Deputies con
tacted the store and requested
their video security system
and set Williams free because
they had no additional infor
mation.
After Williams left the
scene, deputies received a
message on their cell phones
that showed photos of
Williams in the Walmart
store and confirmed a large
Williams
number of the items in the bin
that were missing. Woolard
stopped Williams shortly af
terward and placed him under
arrest.
Nikki Bishop, a representa
tive from Walmart, came to
the Camden County substa
tion on Jan. 30 to pickup the
stolen items and after scan
ning them determined that
the total amount stolen was
$10,780.52. According to
Bishop, an investigation
showed that Williams stole
items from six different Wal
mart stores in South Carolina,
starting in Buford on Jan. 29
and moving on to Hard-
eeville, Walterboro, Sum
merville and North
Charleston.
Williams stole items by
placing them in the large plas
tic containers and then only
purchasing the containers at
the self checkout registers. He
is now in custody at the Cam
den County Jail and charged
with theft by bringing stolen
property into the state.

Superior Court Judge
Anthony Harrison sen
tenced convicted murderer
Amos Southall on Monday
to life in prison without the
possibility of parole.
Southall, 31, also received
30 years in prison for distri
bution of cocaine. The sen
tences will run
concurrently, according to a
news release from the office
of district attorney Jackie
Johnson.
Southall was convicted in
November in the Feb. 26,
2008, death of 21-year-old
Michelle Hainley of Yulee,
Fla. Housekeepers at the
former Ramada Inn in
Kingsland found Hainley’s
body floating in a bathtub
in a room at the hotel.
An autopsy later revealed
Hainley died from multiple
blunt force trauma, stran
gulation and drowning.
DNA and fingerprint evi
dence linked Southall to the
victim’s body and the hotel
room, according to the re
lease.
In December, a Camden
Southall
County grand jury also in
dicted Kristopher Marques
Robinson on a felony mur
der charge in Hainley’s
death. According to the in
dictment, Robinson con
spired with Southall to rob
Hainley and transported
him to the hotel. Robinson
also accompanied Hainley
from her mother’s Yulee
home to the hotel and was
driving her rental car around
the time she was killed.
Johnson and assistant dis
trict attorney Rocky
Bridges presented the case
for the state, and attorneys
Adam Levin and Burt Baker
of the Conflict Capital De
fender’s Office represented
Southall.
