Moncks Corner, SC – A Ladson man’s Halloween season took an unexpected turn when Berkeley County deputies allegedly discovered methamphetamine hidden in his clothing during a recent traffic stop.
According to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office, deputies pulled over 50-year-old Jason Wyndham during a “routine” stop and noticed a suspicious, crystal-like substance tucked away. After further investigation and a K-9 alert, officers reportedly uncovered approximately 59 grams of methamphetamine disguised in a bag resembling candy.
Authorities said Wyndham was arrested and booked into the Hill-Finklea Detention Center on drug-related charges. He is being held on a $10,000 surety bond, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies used the Halloween season to remind residents that illegal drugs are no treat. “Don’t let meth monsters sneak up on you,” the department noted in its social media statement, adding that K-9 units played a key role in identifying the alleged narcotics.
Law enforcement officials continue to emphasize that community cooperation and drug awareness remain central to keeping Berkeley County safe.
