COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– Authorities in Newberry County say four people were arrested on weapon and drug charges after a search warrant was executed at a home last week. Officials with the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office and Newberry City Police Department executed a search warrant in the 1200 block of Langford Street after investigators looked into citizen complaints of drug activity.
