LANCASTER COUNTY, S.C. — A Lancaster man is behind bars on charges of drug and weapons offenses after law enforcement officials served a warrant at a home on 16th Street.
On Tuesday, the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office Drug Task Force along with SWAT members found heroin and other drugs, a pistol and $3,840 in cash at the home of Lashawn White.
White was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Lancaster County Detention Center, where he remains.
The warrants charge White with trafficking heroin, possession with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime and possession of a firearm or ammunition by a person convicted of a violent felony.
“This was another good operation by our Drug Task Force,” said Sheriff Barry Faile. “A flawless entry was made by the SWAT team, and a substantial amount of narcotics and cash, along with a pistol in the possession of a person who should not have had it, were seized.”
Anyone with information about this or any other case should call the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office at 803-283-3388.
