Acting on a civilian's tip, the Berkeley County Narcotics Task Force purchased 18 grams of fentanyl from a Goose Creek resident, resulting in an investigation that yielded an array of substances during the evening of Aug. 4.
A Berkeley County Facebook post reports that county agents seized approximately 20 grams of fentanyl (an opioid known to be 50-100 times more potent than morphine), 2.8 pounds of marijuana, a 9mm Taurus firearm and about $3,100 from Breanna Joye's Laurel Avenue residence. .
The 29-year-old suspect was arrested and charged with trafficking and distribution of fentanyl.
The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office (BSCO) thanked the Goose Creek Police Department for assisting in the arrest.
"We always encourage citizens to reach out if they observe suspicious activity," said a BSCO spokesperson via Facebook. "You can call dispatch to report it or message us here."
