Two people arrested following drug bust in South Carolina

SOUTH CAROLINA — A routine traffic stop by the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office led to the arrest of two individuals, one on serious drug charges.

According to the sheriff’s office, deputies stopped a vehicle and discovered the driver, 28-year-old Tyreko Brown, was operating with a suspended license and could not provide valid insurance.

Deputies also reportedly observed an open container of alcohol in the vehicle, which led to a probable cause search.

During the search, deputies allegedly found suspected cocaine, crack cocaine, and a large amount of cash.

One of the passengers, 26-year-old Tyshawn Shyheem Bell, was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine or cocaine base, and manufacturing, distributing, or possessing narcotic drugs. Bell was denied bond.

Brown was charged with driving under suspension and released on a $647.50 bond.

The case remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office at 803-436-2000 or submit an anonymous tip at www.p3tips.com.
