Robbery suspects on the loose

Brothers walked away from hospital
EASLEY — Two suspects in an Easley armed robbery are still on the loose after they walked away from Greenville Memorial Hospital last week.
According to Maj. Tim Tollison of the Easley Police Department, brothers Tevis Christopher Johnson, 22, and Terrance Anthony Johnson, 23, were receiving care at the hospital after a wreck during a chase following a robbery on Sept. 10 at 93 Quick Stop in Easley. The two walked out of the hospital unbeknownst to staff the following night, Tollison said.
“”The Easley Police Department’s first priority was to give medical assistance to both suspects, as they appeared by medical staff to be injured from the wreck following the pursuit,” Tollison said. “Steps were in place to take custody of both suspects upon release from the hospital. These steps have been the common practice for law enforcement in similar situations. Certainly these events have triggered a review of procedures that were in place and adjustments will be made accordingly for future situations such as these by the Easley Police Department.”
At around 6:58 p.m. on Sept. 10, according to police, two black males entered the 93 Quick Stop, located on Liberty Drive in Easley, and robbed the lone female employee at gunpoint. During the robbery, one suspect fired a shot

Parenting Place schedules movie to help fathers
By Nicole Guttermuth, Courier Staff
EASLEY — According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 24 million children in America — one out of three — live in homes where the biological father is absent. Some even suggest that nearly all of the social issues facing America today can be linked to the absence of a father in the home.
Joey Medoro of The Parenting Place: A Family Resource Center is working to change and positively impact these statistics in Pickens County through the “Fathers 2 Dads” program he started in January 2013.
Medoro has collaborated with Arial Baptist Church in Easley to host a men’s event this
