A group of Hell’s Angels’ members in the northern South Carolina region are set to go in front of a judge and jury. The two year investigation tallied up charges for members ranging from drug trafficking, money laundering, and prostitution.
The police allege that the group president, from Lancaster, SC, directed and approved criminal activity of other members of the motorcycle gang. Police even contend that he was involved personally in some of the crimes.
If you or a loved one has received charges resulting from a criminal investigation, make sure to call on proper representation.

A Fort Mill, SC man has been arrested after neighbors called the police regarding suspicious activity occurring outside of an abandoned house. The man was charged with possession of the drug called bath salts when the police found a jar on the man containing the substance. Police report that the man was not making much sense of what he was saying, and they suspected he was under the influence.
Not much is known about “bath salts”; however, they have been known to cause a high to those who use them. The type of symptoms involved with the use of bath salts is headaches, heart palpitations, paranoia, and hallucinations among others. Bath salts can be sniffed, smoked, ingested, and even injected.
Because not much is known about the drug, there is also not much known about how to criminalize the use of such a substance. Therefore, if you or a family member has been charged with the use of bath salts or any other controlled substance, it is very important that you are adequately represented in order to determine how to classify such a charge. For a consultation, call the law offices of Reeves, Aiken & Hightower, LLP at 803-548-4444, or toll-free at 877-374-4444.

Deputies are charging a man with shoplifting after he allegedly stole beef jerky from a Fort Mill convenience store after stumbling through the store while drunk, according to a York County Sheriff’s Office report.
The store clerk at the Times Turnaround reported the man was “extremely intoxicated” and stole several beef jerky sticks. Deputies reviewed the store surveillance video which showed the man “enter the store and stumble around,” then grab beef jerky and stuff his pockets. In an attempt to hide the stolen jerky, the man tried to pull his shirt over his pockets, but the shirt was stuck in the same pocket which knocked out the jerky. The man then moved to another display of jerky, grabbed more, and left the store without paying. Officers planned to pursue enhanced shoplifting charges, the report states.
