what happened to robert barrineau was he jailed

Robert Barrineau was arrested and booked , but the sources I found do not show that he was sentenced to jail or prison at that time. In 2021, he was charged with third-degree assault and battery after a traffic-stop incident, and one report says he was booked at the Dorchester County Detention Center; another says he was later released on bond.

What happened

  • Barrineau was a former Summerville police officer.
  • He was arrested by South Carolina Law Enforcement Division agents in connection with a 2020 traffic stop.
  • The charge reported was third-degree assault and battery.
  • One outlet said he was booked into the Dorchester County Detention Center, while another said he was released on bond.

Was he jailed?

He was taken into custody , which is different from being convicted and sentenced to jail. The reporting I found only confirms the arrest and booking, not a final jail sentence.

Bottom line

So the short answer is: yes, he was arrested and booked, but I did not find confirmation that he was jailed long-term or sentenced on that charge.

TL;DR: Robert Barrineau was arrested in 2021 over an assault-and-battery charge tied to a traffic stop, but the reporting available here only confirms booking and bond release—not a jail sentence.
