According to the Camden County Sheriff's Office, Deputy Michael Blaquiere tried to stop an Infiniti driven by Rogers after the vehicle was seen speeding south on I-95 shortly after 10:45 a.m.
Instead of pulling over, deputies said, Rogers tried to lose Blaquiere by accelerating past 100 miles per hour and shooting at the deputy's patrol vehicle from the driver's window.
The chase came to an end shortly after the Infiniti got off on the May Creek Road exit. Deputies used spike strips followed by a PIT maneuver to stop the car near Scrubbly Bluff and St. Marys roads.
Deputies recovered two handguns and a bag of methamphetamine that were tossed from the Infiniti at some point during the pursuit.
Rogers and passenger Angel Ann Shuqart, 20, also of South Carolina, were taken into custody. Shuqart is charged with criminal attempt to commit a felony. Both are being held at the Camden County jail.
