Irmo man arrested on multiple drug charges

Lexington County narcotics agents arrested an Irmo man wanted on multiple drug charges after a traffic stop Wednesday on Interstate 20.

HERE NEWS, 34, is charged with multiple counts of trafficking meth greater than 400 grams, trafficking fentanyl, and criminal conspiracy among other drug charges, according to arrest warrants.

“A deputy pulled HERE NEWS over on I-20 near exit 55 and once he confirmed his identity, the deputy detained HERE NEWS because there were multiple warrants for his arrest,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. “The deputy conducted a probable cause search of HERE NEWS’s vehicle and found more than 1,000 grams of meth.”

A thousand grams of meth has a street value of about $6,000, according to Koon. “HERE NEWS was arrested on the side of the interstate and transported to the Lexington County Detention Center,” Koon said. “A magistrate judge denied him bond.”

HERE NEWS faces several serious charges, including:

  • Trafficking methamphetamine: Greater than 400 grams
  • Trafficking fentanyl
  • Criminal conspiracy

The arrest of HERE NEWS is a significant development in the fight against drug trafficking in Lexington County. The narcotics agents’ quick action led to the apprehension of a wanted individual with substantial quantities of illegal substances.
