LANCASTER COUNTY, S.C. — A search for a man who authorities believe may have been involved in a September homicide, led to a significant drug bust in Lancaster County, South Carolina, last week.

The Kershaw County Sheriff’s Office asked the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office for assistance locating Shannon Myers, who may have been involved in a Kershaw County Homicide in September of 2019.  Investigators wanted to search a residence on Doby’s Bridge Road in Indian Land, South Carolina, for evidence related to the homicide.

On Thursday, November 21st, 2019, just before 6 a.m., a search warrant was executed at the Doby’s Bridge residence by Drug Task Force Agents, criminal investigators, and the Special Weapons and Tactics Team from the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office along with Kershaw County investigators and agents of the State Law Enforcement Division, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Lancaster County Department of Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services.

Investigators located items in plain view that led to the issuance of an additional narcotics search warrant.  Officials say substantial quantities of various drugs, drug paraphernalia, firearms, and cash were found in different locations throughout the house.

Among the substances and items seized were: 811.5 grams of methamphetamine, 49 grams of heroin, 8.35 grams of cocaine, 4.47 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of psilocybin, tow Suboxone strips, seven Tramadol pills, five digital scales, seven smoking pipes, a .38 caliber revolver, a .40 caliber pistol with the serial number removed, a .45 caliber pistol, and $4,372 in cash.

The following individual were located inside the residence and arrested at the time of the search: Erica Nicole Floyd, 35, of Clover; Sherri Christian Hunter, 46, of Fort Mill; Shannon Layne Myers, 47, of Fort Mill; Teresa Leann Price, 32, of Leesville; Shawn Harrison Wiland, 46, of Indian Land.

All five subjects were charged with the following offenses: Trafficking Methamphetamine 400 Grams or More, Trafficking Heroin 28 Grams or More, Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana, Possession with Intent to Distribute Psilocybin, Possession with Intent to Distribute Suboxone, Possession with Intent to Distribute Tramadol, two counts of Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Violent Crime, Possession of a Pistol with an Obliterated Serial Number, and seven counts of Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance in Proximity to Indian Land Elementary School.

Sheriff Barry Faile said, “This was a huge find for our Drug Task Force. Our agents have been developing intelligence on this location for a while, and the Kershaw County investigation got us both enough information to get inside. This is the largest seizure of methamphetamine in the county that I know of. We seized seven different types of drugs which are now out of circulation in Lancaster County and got three handguns off the street. The operation was pulled together quickly and involved officers from five agencies but was conducted seamlessly and with no complications.”
