ORANGEBURG, S.C. (WOLO) – A warrant has been issued for Shelly Thomas Faulling by the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office, charging him with distribution of methamphetamine.
Acting on a tip, investigators on patrol on January 11, noticed a suspicious looking truck and trailer pull into a Charleston Highway convenience store.
Faulling, 46, is accused of lying to deputies about driving a stolen truck.
