Richland County Drug Bust Reaps 2,000 Pounds of Marijuana and a Kilo of Cocaine

Richland County Drug Bust

According to WLTX, early Thursday moring police arrested 23 year old Celso Vasquez at a home on Roberson Street (located near Monticello and I-20) where they recovered a kilo of cocaine and 2,000 pounds of marijuana.

Three duffle bags of cash believed to be somewhere in the six figures were seized from another home searched as a result of the bust.

The drug bust was made based upon information received as part of a recent traffic stop in Greenville, South Carolina where police found $14,000.00 in cash and 40 pounds of marijuana.

According to Capt. Roger Heaton with SLED, Thursday was kind of a fun day. “We got the cash, we got the guns, we got the bad guy, we got the dope. Tomorrow starts the hard work, where you gotta have deputies and SLED agents and police officers with feet on the ground. We’ve got a lot of information to run down.”

SLED Director Reggie Lloyd said that investigators are going to continue to work this case backward to find out who else is involved, where the individuals are located, and bring them to justice as well.
