The Florence County Sheriff’s Office seized a whopping 118 pounds of cocaine, $182,000 in cash and a gun from a man this week who’s been out on bond while facing a murder charge.
According to Fox News, 34-year-old Sheldon Alexander was pulled over during a traffic stop in South Carolina after police say he was speeding on the Interstate 95.
When cops decided to search the car, they found the sizeable amount of cocaine worth around $9 million, as well as the cash and a firearm. Authorities say that Sheldon actually resides in Los Angeles and is originally from Trinidad, but upon their investigation, he’s been living in the U.S. illegally, which could open a separate case on whether he gets deported amid his current legal issues.
Sheldon had been out on bond after being hit with a murder charge in California. He was taken to the Florence County Detention Center and charged with trafficking cocaine, unlawfully carrying a pistol, and possession of a firearm by an illegal alien.
