Rock Hill man shot during SWAT standoff is released from hospital, now in jail

A Rock Hill man injured in a Thanksgiving Day armed standoff with police was released from the hospital and arrested Thursday night.

Jacob Dean Patterson, 30, of 515 Hutchinson St., is now in jail at the Rock Hill police department. Patterson is scheduled to have a bond hearing at 2 p.m. Friday. Patterson has been charged with five counts of pointing and presenting a firearm, police said.

He was shot by members of the Rock Hill SWAT team after he barricaded himself in his home, police said.

Neighbors had reported Patterson was standing on the porch of his Hutchinson Street house with a gun, according to a Rock Hill police statement.

Patterson was shot by two Rock Hill officers, and flown to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte.

The officers who shot Patterson – after police said Patterson repeatedly refused to obey commands – were identified by Rock Hill police spokesman Capt. Mark Bollinger as Lt. Carlos Culbreath and Officer Christopher Rowe.

The State Law Enforcement Division is still investigating the shooting.

Both officers had been placed on administrative leave, but are now back on duty, Bollinger said.
