Columbia, S.C. (WOLO)–Attorney General Alan Wilson announced additional indictments in a drug trafficking investigation called “Devils in Disguise”. So far, officials say indictments have been issued in five counties against 108 defendants on more than 380 charges. A spokesperson for the Attorney General’s Office says the investigation is focused on fentanyl trafficking and overdoses. “These new State Grand Jury indictments are the result of the hard work of law enforcement, prosecutors, and staff from many jurisdictions,” Attorney General Wilson said. “We will continue to aggressively fight drug traffickers with every resource we have. Soon, we’ll also have a new tool to charge fentanyl traffickers if their drugs kill someone, thanks to the fentanyl-induced homicide bill just passed by the legislature, which we’ve been working to get for three years,” he added.
