ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT

TO FELONY OR MURDER

Tyvae Savon Dwyer, 24, of Wagram Drive, was arrested March 14 and charged with accessory after the fact to felony A, B, C or murder, according to a news release from Sumter County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Adrienne Sarvis.

Felonies in South Carolina are classified as A through F indicating the maximum sentencing if convicted: Felony A is not more than 30 years; felony B, not more than 25 years; and felony C, not more than 20 years. A murder conviction can result in 30 years to life in prison.

Dwyer allegedly assisted a felon by taking a co-defendant to a location off Pack Road on or between Aug. 7 and Aug. 8, 2018, to get a firearm that was used in an attempted murder and possible attempted armed robbery.

Facebook records obtained through a search warrant corroborate a co-defendant's statement to Dwyer's involvement, and a written statement from a co-defendant was also obtained, according to the release.
