Heroin, crack, cocaine, marijuana and gun seized during Midlands raid

Two Midlands men were arrested after a Tuesday raid where a wide assortment of drugs and a gun were seized.

Columbia’s Brandon Hasan Jones, 33, was charged with trafficking heroin (28 grams or more), possession of crack and possession of cocaine, according to the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Office.

Floyd Lamar Neal, 27, was charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and possession of crack cocaine, the sheriff’s office reported.

The raid occurred at 9:30 a.m. Feb. 6, at a residence in the 500 block of King Street in Camden, according to the sheriff’s office, which said one ounce of heroin, 4 ounces of marijuana, small quantities of crack cocaine and cocaine powder were seized. Along with the drugs, the investigators found a .380 caliber pistol.

“Our drug investigators are making more and more heroin cases as the opioid crisis continues in our county,” Chief Deputy Jack Rushing said in a news release. “Opioids, heroin being one, are responsible for numerous overdoses and deaths not only here, but nationwide.”
