Cockroaches Keep Coming Back

 

The Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office has named a person of interest in the recent quadruple murder in Holly Hill. That person is none other than CTL alumni Michael Deroaknel Smith, Jr., aka “Rambo”, aka “Mykel Smith“, aka Mikel Smith. We first wrote about Smith in 2012 when he was rounded up by U.S. Marshals on five outstanding charges including CDV and narcotics related offenses. We also wrote about Smith in Part II of our series on the gang known as “Town of Lincolville/Cut Throat Jack Boys”.

Smith is said to have denied any involvement in the Holly Hill murders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smith is currently in jail in Orangeburg County after he fled from police Tuesday evening and led them on a high speed chase. Smith was fleeing because U.S. Marshals were trying to arrest him on warrants out of Berkeley County for Strong Arm Robbery, 1st Degree Assault & Battery, 2nd Degree Assault & Battery and 3rd Degree Assault & Battery. Looks like “Rambo” wasn’t such a “badazz” after all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An interesting post went up on Smith’s page two days after the murders. Probably just a coincidence, huh?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smith is a serial violent offender with several murder/attempted murder charges to his credit, as well as a number of violent assaults and robberies. Of course, they were  usually in the 9th Circuit so you know they were dismissed. Let’s run through his extensive record in the tri-county area. You might want to grab a snack and something to drink. This will take a while.

 

 

2005 Charges (Dorchester County):

Discharging a Firearm into a Dwelling - Plead guilty. Sentenced by Judge Doyet Early to 2 years.

2006 Charges (Charleston County):

In spite of intensive search of public records we failed to find any mention of the Berkeley County murder charge.

1st Degree Assault & Battery - Failed to appear in court so the 9th Circuit Solicitor dismissed the charge on July 21st, 2015. Seriously, how the heck can you be expected to prosecute someone when they don’t even bother to show up court?

 

 

 

 

 

 

2014 Charges (Dorchester County):

Attempted Murder - Pending. No bond information available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That certainly amounts to a lot of charge in the past 10 years, many of them violent. Smith is another one you can point to the next time some liberal idiot claims the criminal (in)justice system is “racist”. This should not be on the streets, period. He is a violet serial offender who keeps getting breaks from prosecutors and judges. Nothing new, unfortunately.
