CALHOUN COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA, June 20 (Infinite Headlines) — The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office said six people were arrested after a June 6 fight at the 601 Sand Bar on the Congaree River, and investigators said more arrests are expected as they review video from the scene.

The sheriff’s office has not publicly released a charge-by-charge breakdown in the material reviewed.
The investigation remains active, the sheriff’s office said, with detectives still matching names to faces and reviewing public submissions. Authorities have not said what sparked the violence.
