South Carolina deputy charged with killing unarmed man, letting police dog maul someone else

Columbia, S.C. — A deputy in South Carolina has been charged with voluntary manslaughter and assault after he shot an unarmed suspect five times, killing him, and the deputy's police dog mauled a different, innocent person, authorities said.
State agents arrested former Florence County deputy Treyvon Jonathan Sellers on Wednesday. He was on leave after the May 26 shooting and was fired in July after an arrest in an unrelated domestic violence case.
Sellers was awaiting a bond hearing at the Florence County jail on Thursday. Jail records didn't indicate whether he had a lawyer.
