At 2:56 pm an official from the Clemson University Police Department issued a statement regarding a dismissed Pickens Police officer. Lt. Gabe Peters said "A warrant has been issued. This disgraced law enforcement official is wanted in connection with an incident at a Clemson home football game earlier this season. We now have evidence to charge him with assault and battery of a high and aggrevated nature. The suspect is wanted in connection with an high publicized event from Lot One. We believe this man did willfully and maliciously stabbed an unarmed football. The people of the upstate can rest easy knowing we will soon have this dangerous man in custody"
