Furse told the court that Dukes was born and raised in the Orangeburg community and has a fiancé and two young children who live in the area.
“He has fully cooperated with law enforcement,” Furse said.
“He’s taking this case very seriously,” he added.
Furse also said, “This is a difficult situation and an unfortunate situation.”
“He has absolutely no violent history and he’s not a proclivity to violence,” he said.
In setting bond, Lake noted, “I agree with Mr. Pascoe on the nature of the offense.”
Lake set Dukes’ bond at $10,000 cash or surety. He’s not to possess any firearms while out on bond.
The incident occurred on July 26 as officers responded to a report of a person with a gun on Colleton Street, according to ODPS Chief Mike Adams.
Dukes allegedly encountered 58-year-old Clarence Gailyard, who was walking with a stick and completely unarmed, said Justin Bamberg, Gailyard’s attorney.
Gailyard has pins and rods in his knee, leg and hip from a previous injury, Bamberg said.
“Officer Dukes ordered my client and another individual to get on the ground, but because of my client’s disability, he’s relatively slow,” Bamberg said.
