A former K9 handler with the Summerville Police Department (SPD) has been arrested for violating a permanent restraining order and stalking, according to Charleston County magistrate court records.
While the exact details remain unclear, Kelley “Skee” Loff was arrested by an officer of the North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) on July 20, 2024. As of this writing, he remains incarcerated at the Sheriff Al Cannon detention center.
While Loff was terminated from SPD for “dangerous and/or unsafe practices” in December 2016, the S.C. Law Enforcement Training Council reinstated his certification after “no evidence of misconduct” was presented, according to state records.
Come June 16, 2020, family court filings accused Loff of Domestic Violence (DV) with an intimate partner. Two days later, the former officer was criminally charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime, burglary and kidnapping.
Prior to his tenure with SPD, Loff was an officer of the Goose Creek Police Department (GCPD) for approximately four years, NCPD for approximately seven years and a guard at Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center for approximately one year.
As with anyone accused of committing any crime, Loff is considered innocent until proven guilty by our criminal justice system – or until such time as he may wish to enter some form of allocution in connection with a plea agreement with prosecutors related to any of the charges filed against him.

Domestic matters can be nasty. The original SC stalking statute was ruled by the SC Supreme Court tobe unconstitutional. It was vague enough causing it to get tossed. But not before dozens where charged under the first version
One person, a female who was protesting outside a SC abortion center back in the 90s had her own stalking charged tossed out because of the Supremes ruling. Another case, a SC woman was caught in perjury, lied about being stalked. So it it hard to know in many cases what the truth is until maybe the real truth comes out or someone is convicted based on lies It all depends. However, SC justice system still is a snafu
