Judge sets bond for suspect in barricade situation on Ocean Boulevard
A judge set bond for a man involved in a barricade and arson situation at a Myrtle Beach hotel, despite a police detective’s request to deny the action.
Judge J. Scott Long set bond for Kenneth Beachum, 33, at $385,000 Friday afternoon.
Beachum, of Mullins, was charged with arson, a false bomb threat, a false fire alarm, burglary, and throwing bodily fluids on an officer after barricading himself in a room of the Seaglass Tower at the Yachstman Resort Thursday in Myrtle Beach.
All the charges against Beachum are felonies except for the false fire alarm charge,
