On April 1, the Richland County Sheriff’s Department reported that Sergeant Michael Mazerolle had been involved in a single car collision near Koon Road in Irmo, sending him to the hospital. This week, the department says they received medical reports that revealed a level of alcohol, prompting them to conduct an investigation. Upon completion of this investigation, authorities say Mazerolle was terminated.
“His behavior is inexcusable, and I will not tolerate that from my deputies,” Sheriff Lott said. “I hold my deputies to a much higher standard and anyone who works for me knows that I will hold them accountable.”
