On Friday, deputies in Orangeburg County, South Carolina conducted a search warrant at a home on Acola Lane in Holly Hill.
During the search, authorities found 4.4 pounds of marijuana, 440 various pills, large amounts of cocaine and crack cocaine, and six pounds of methamphetamine.
“This operation was executed at the height of the snow, slush, and sleet last week,” Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said.
“We actually came in while the crack cocaine was being cooked,” Ravenell said. “Surprise!”

Ravenell said the drug bust had netted one of the largest seizures of meth in the county’s history.
Authorities arrested Druscilla Atherton,55, of Summerton, SC and G’Ania Little, 27, of Holly Hill, SC.
Both were charged with trafficking methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute Adderall, trafficking heroin, trafficking ecstasy, trafficking cocaine, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession of a controlled substance (Xanax), possession with intent to distribute oxycodone, and possession with intent distribute hydrocodone.
Atherton was also charged with a second offense of driving under suspension.
Bond was set on Atherton at $192,000 cash or surety while Little’s bond was set at $122,500. The sheriff’s office is also searching for Marcus Guest,44, of Holly Hill in connection to the case.
“We have a lot of questions, and he likely has a lot of answers,” Ravenell said. “He may want to come see us rather than taking off through the woods again.”
‘Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow’ will prevent us from keeping our community safe,” Ravenell said.
