Berkeley County, SC – A routine traffic stop in the Ladson area on Wednesday turned into a narcotics investigation after deputies recovered two plastic bags containing more than 19 grams of methamphetamine, according to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the department, deputies were patrolling College Park Road in Berkeley County on Wednesday, Dec. 5, when they observed a vehicle commit a driving infraction.
