Lexington, SC 08/19/2024

Paul Kirby reports – In a major breakthrough against drug trafficking in Lexington County, multiple narcotics traffickers faced justice in the Lexington County General Sessions Court. Successive convictions have resulted in several traffickers receiving extensive prison sentences.

Successful Convictions Send Strong Message

In a statement, Eleventh Circuit Solicitor Rick Hubbard highlighted the significant dangers posed by illegal narcotics, pointing out the grave risks to the community, particularly vulnerable adolescents who might unwittingly ingest a lethal amount of fentanyl from a counterfeit pill. He commended the dedicated efforts of the narcotics investigators, who have been conducting these operations with the aim of making Lexington County a safer place.
