In a statement from South Carolina, the school said, "We are aware of the situation and will let the legal process work its way out."

According to a report from The State newspaper, Blackshear is accused of stealing a purse and a safe from a Bluffton home with the contents being valued at $1,390. Blackshear was booked at 3:43 p.m. on Friday afternoon and was released on bond on Saturday morning.
