in Washington’s ******. The case against Lawhorn was dismissed earlier this year, according to the Public Index.

The suit claims that while Washington was at Barfield’s, Lawhorn was carrying a concealed firearm and gave the concealed firearm to an agent or employee of Barfield’s. The employee kept Lawhorn’s firearm behind the bar until Lawhorn was ready to leave the establishment. When Lawhorn was ready to leave, he retrieved the firearm from the employee, according to the suit.

Lawhorn then left Barfield’s and went to Klocker’s, the suit said. Eventually, both Washington and Lawhorn were outside the bar where Lawhorn is accused of ********* Washington.

The suit claims that due to previous ********* and other ********* activity at both Barfield’s and Klocker’s, both places had a duty to protect, screen, warn and provide security for those who came onto the premises.

Horry County Police reported to the Department of Revenue that it has responded to numerous calls for service, including noise complaints, assaults, shots fired, ********* violations, ******* violations, fights, as well as Washington’s ****** on Oct. 18, 2023.

Both Barfield’s and Klocker’s was negligent in failing to screen and following security measures and laws to prevent the *********, according to the suit.
