Former Florence County deputy Treyvon Jonathan Sellers charged with voluntary manslaughter, assault.

Sellers was chasing 43-year-old William Dwayne Rankin when Rankin crashed into a tree and ran into a home.

He went into the home through the back door with his police dog, which was not on a leash.

He then ordered the dog to attack without knowing who was inside, state agents say.

The dog bit the homeowner, who was not involved in the chase and did not know Sellers.
