Deputies: Orangeburg man arrested with “Pharmaceutical variety store”

Orangeburg Co., S.C. (WOLO)–Orangeburg County deputies say a man is in custody after investigators seized a large quantity of illegal drugs.

“This was practically a pharmaceutical variety store,” Sheriff LeRoy Ravenell said of the seizure. “We recovered everything from marijuana to fentanyl to medical-grade promethazine, a prescription only medication.”

Deputies say Charles Singleton, 26, was arrested Thursday after a search warrant was executed at a home on Old Elloree Rd.

According to investigators, during the search they found two guns, eight and a half pounds of marijuana, three plastic bags of fentanyl, 13 bottles of promethazine, 17 containers of dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride, 641 benzodiazepine pills, two IV bags containing fentanyl citrate, 22.2 grams of crack cocaine, 153 grams of cocaine, alprazolam and amphetamine pills, two cars, and more than $5,000 in cash.

Deputies say Singleton was out on bond for attempted murder at the time of his arrest this week.
