Authorities have explained why there was a large law enforcement presence near St. James High School Wednesday morning.

The FBI and SLED were preparing to serve arrest and search warrants at a home on Pollen Loop. During the attempt, the subject refused to comply with the request to step outside the home, prompting authorities to enter.

Upon entry, the Horry County Police Department, which was assisting, found the subject deceased inside the home. The death is now under investigation.

The incident unfolded at The Pines neighborhood across from St. James, which took safety precautions. That included keeping students inside the building rather than allowing them to wait outside before school started. The district also increased security and law enforcement presence on campus out of an abundance of caution.
