South Carolina woman charged after traffic stop, search reveal nearly 1.5K grams of fentanyl

A South Carolina woman under surveillance for "drug-selling activities" was arrested after authorities found 1,472 grams of fentanyl, 20 grams of meth and nine guns in her possession.

Abernathy was already under surveillance when she was stopped on Candlenut Lane in the Boiling Springs area, the sheriff's office said. A K-9 alerted deputies to the drugs during the stop.

After the traffic stop, authorities obtained a search warrant for a storage unit Abernathy used. At the unit, they found 531 grams of fentanyl, three handguns and four "long guns," the SCSO said.
