Damion Jerod Collins, Hykeim Williams and Dorian Tyrese Clyburn were charged with possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession of a stolen pistol and possession of a pistol with an obliterated serial number after deputies said they seized two bags of suspected heroin, along with digital scales, three handguns – a .357 revolver and two .380 pistols – and two SKS 7.62 rifles at a home in Kershaw.
“This was a very successful operation,” Sheriff Barry Faile said. “We began last Thursday with drug distribution warrants on 11 people and had ten of them in custody by the weekend.
“We also made additional charges against two of the original defendants and arrested two others during the execution of the search warrant springing from the operation.
“We seized drugs and five loaded firearms. This concentrated effort in the Kershaw Community should put folks on notice there that we are watching and will catch up with them.”
