Greenville County, South Carolina – A Greenville County man received eight years for meth and fentanyl trafficking.
According to Thirteenth Circuit Solicitor Cindy S. Crick, Sh’Quinton Alonda Parks, 42, pleaded guilty Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2026, to trafficking methamphetamine, second offense, and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, second offense.
The Honorable Lawton McIntosh sentenced Parks to eight years in the South Carolina Department of Corrections during a hearing at the Greenville County Courthouse.
Prosecutors said the charges stemmed from a Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2022, search warrant executed at Parks’ residence by the Greenville County Drug Enforcement Unit. Investigators reportedly found substantial amounts of methamphetamine and fentanyl inside the home.
Assistant Solicitors Seth R. Johnson and William Ray presented evidence during the plea hearing, according to Crick’s office. The case was investigated by Investigator Scott Heath with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities did not immediately release additional details about the quantities seized. Trafficking and distribution-level fentanyl charges in South Carolina carry significant prison penalties due to the drug’s potency and overdose risk.
The sentencing concludes a case that began more than three years ago and reflects ongoing enforcement efforts targeting distribution-level narcotics in Greenville County. Drug trafficking cases often draw attention from young adults and local workers due to the broader public health and safety implications tied to opioid-related crimes.
