SPARTANBURG, S.C. - The State Law Enforcement Division is investigating a chase that involved shots being fired by state troopers.

The shooting happened Sunday evening when Lance Cpl. D.L. Chapman and Lance Cpl. T.E. Nance tried to stop a car for erratic driving in Spartanburg County, said Sid Gaulden, spokesman for the state Public Safety Department.

When the troopers got out of their cars, the driver pulled away and hit a patrol car, just missing a trooper. The officers shot at the car and it stopped.

Two women in the car were wounded and treated at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center. Casey Richards, 23, of Boiling Springs and Melissa Barrs of Chesnee were listed in good condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.

The two men in the car, Derrick Scott Cothran, 24, of Inman and J. Fletcher Fowler, 20, were arrested, Gaulden said.

All four people in the car were charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Fowler, who police say was driving, also was charged with failure to stop for a blue light.

Chapman and Nance are on administrative leave pending the outcome of SLED's investigation, Gaulden said.
