ORANGEBURG, SC (WCSC) - Investigators arrested a 27-year-old man suspected of selling drugs near a school after deputies found crack cocaine, marijuana and a shotgun at a home in Orangeburg.
The Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office charged Luther Brandell Green with drug possession, possession with intent to distribute drugs near a school and distribution of cocaine base.
