The website reports that SLED has issued a Blue Alert for Lacey Cushman, an armed and dangerous woman, in connection with an officer being injured in Barnwell County, South Carolina.

The claims regarding the Blue Alert issued for Lacey Cushman in Barnwell County are largely supported by multiple sources. The alert itself, the injury of an officer, and Cushman's direction of travel towards Bamberg County are confirmed by several news outlets. However, specific details about the vehicle she was last seen driving lack direct evidence, and descriptive details about Cushman are typical of alerts and do not require verification.
