The drug bust, part of the Department of Justice’s nationwide Operation Take Back America, resulted in multiple arrests and the seizure of 156 pounds of fentanyl and 44 pounds of methamphetamine. “Well done to the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Lexington County Sheriff's Department, South Carolina’s U.S. Attorney Bryan Stirling, and everyone else involved in this historic drug bust. “The fentanyl seized in this investigation, equivalent to 36 million lethal doses, is believed by investigators to have originated in Mexico. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and the historic investment in border security he just signed into law, the days of fentanyl pouring across our border and into our communities unfettered are over. “What a difference six months can make. South Carolina is being kept safe under the leadership of President Trump.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:48:13Z |
