NEW: 911 Calls Released In Chesterfield Co. Deputies Prank Calls Case
CHESTERFIELD, S.C. – WCCB obtained the 911 calls connected to three ex-Chesterfield County Sheriff’s deputies. We submitted an open records request for the calls so you could hear them. Justin Reichard, Killian Loflin and Darien Roseau are accused of making prank calls while on duty. They’ve since been fired.
Investigators say they three deputies called local convenience stores anonymously and said they found a dead body and needed the convenience store to call 911 for them because their phone wasn’t working.
Here’s a sample of the calls the convenience store workers then made to 911.
CALLER 1: “I’m at the Lowe’s Gas Station, and I had a guy call me, and apparently he was trying to report a dead body, but he called the store to do it.
OPERATOR: “And did you were you able to catch a number?”

CALLER 4: “Somebody just got up and said it’s a dead body across the street from Dizzy Gillespie. He said he couldn’t call 911 number, because the phone would have hung up.”
