In South Carolina, two sheriff’s deputies were fired Wednesday for their role in the deaths of two women who drowned in a van overcome by floodwaters from Hurricane Florence while in law enforcement’s custody last month. The two officers, who were also in the van transporting the women to a mental health facility, survived. Forty-five-year-old Windy Newton and 43-year-old Nicolette Green had both gone to hospitals, where they were involuntarily committed and detained. An investigation into their deaths is ongoing.
