The FOX Carolina account lists Davon Oneal Boyce as facing trafficking methamphetamine while reporting a marijuana seizure, so whether his trafficking charge concerns marijuana or methamphetamine is unclear.
Only over 200 pounds is stated, so the kilogram figure is converted from the 200-pound floor and the exact weight is unknown.
No court outcome beyond the stated charges is reported.
Only the sheriff's account via FOX Carolina was opened; no independent second outlet could be opened.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in FOX Carolina: The Laurens County Sheriff's Office is identified as the reporting agency for the seizure and arrests.
