 In Local News

The Newberry County Sheriff’s Office and Newberry City Police announce the arrest of four individuals after investigators began an extensive investigation into complaints of drug activity from citizens in the Langford Street area of the West End Community in the City of Newberry.

On February 18, the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office and Newberry City Police Department executed a search warrant at 1205 Langford St in the City of Newberry and discovered trafficking amounts of cocaine, methamphetamine, crack cocaine, marijuana, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. It appears this house was rented and being used for the sole purpose of trafficking and selling drugs.

“These are very dangerous drugs that were discovered and have the tendency to destroy lives and families. We are very thankful for the community stepping up and reported this poison that is being sold in our community,” said Sheriff Foster.

Police Chief Kevin Goodman commented, “The Newberry Police Department and the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office share a unique close working relationship that serves valuable when protecting Newberry Community as a whole. This incident is just another example of two professional departments coming together to make this community safer for everyone.”

Those arrested have been identified and charged with:

Trent Jones 33 years old, Possession of a Weapon During the Commission of a Violent Crime, Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana, Trafficking Cocaine, Trafficking Crack Cocaine, and Trafficking Methamphetamine

Francesca Monique Collins-Glasgow 37 years old, Possession of a Weapon During the Commission of a Violent Crime, Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana, Trafficking Cocaine, Trafficking Crack Cocaine, and Trafficking Methamphetamine
