A South Carolina police officer is fired after investigators conclude she repeatedly used her department’s Flock license-plate camera system to monitor a former romantic partner’s vehicle. Reports say Officer Ellie Anna Hammond, 24, was dismissed from the Mauldin Police Department on Aug. 3.
According to documents referenced by the outlets, investigators found she ran the same license plate more than 160 times over about five months, totaling 166 searches. The information is reported to come from records connected to the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy. Both accounts describe the conduct as obsessive tracking of an ex-partner rather than a routine law-enforcement purpose.
The coverage focuses on the same core facts—who was involved, what technology was used, how many times the plate was run, and the timing of the firing—without adding materially different details about the investigation’s broader findings.
