Grandmother Charged After 12-Year-Old Stranded in Hazardous Jet Ski Rescue

  • On Tuesday afternoon, 53-year-old Anne Lachell Sellers of Moncks Corner was charged after her 12-year-old granddaughter went missing near Bushy Park Boat Landing in South Carolina.
  • The incident occurred because Sellers and the girl took separate jet skis, both became stranded and disabled, and Sellers told the girl to swim for help despite hazardous water conditions.
  • A coordinated search effort involving the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office Marine Patrol and Dive Team, state wildlife officials, the Coast Guard, and local fire departments located the girl approximately 500 to 600 yards from the boat launch in the marshy area.
  • The girl sustained injuries to her arms and legs while swimming to shore and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, investigations have shown that Sellers provided false information during initial questioning and is currently detained at Hill-Finklea Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing.
  • Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis denounced Sellers' conduct as criminally negligent, emphasizing that reckless behavior jeopardizing the safety of minors will not be accepted, and those responsible will face the maximum legal consequences.
