Two Arrested After Months-Long Narcotic Investigation
Sheriff Lee Foster announces that two individuals have been arrested after a months-long narcotic investigation.
Sheriff Foster states that tips and complaints from the community led to an investigation and a search warrant was executed on a residence in the Pine Hills Road community of Prosperity resulting in seizing large amounts of drugs and a gun.
Ty Ricke Rae-Quon Praylow 26 years old, of 66 A Pines Hills Rd, Prosperity and Rahim Larenz Harmon 23 years old, of 66 A Pine Hills Rd, Prosperity were both located at the residence during the execution of the search warrant and were taken into custody without incident.
During the search, Investigators located several blue pills and a blue powder substance believed to be a fentanyl and heroin mixture, which is a very dangerous combination. Along with the discovery of the illegal narcotics, there was packaging paraphernalia used for distributing the drugs. Also located during the search was a handgun.
“We are very fortunate to be able to prevent these dangerous drugs from reaching the streets and preventing a tragic incident,” said Sheriff Foster. “Heroin is an extremely dangerous drug, but when mixed with Fentanyl, it become a deadly cocktail,” according to Sheriff Foster. “We are seeing more and more overdoses from people taking Fentanyl laced drugs. The person using the drug generally has no idea they are cut with Fentanyl. Death from this drug is quick, unless EMS or law enforcement are very close to administer the antidote.” “We ask the community for their continued support in calling and sharing information with law enforcement to help identify violent offenders and drug dealers to protect our families and children.”
Ty Ricke Rae-Quon Praylow 26 years old has been charged with Possession of a Weapon During the Commission of a Violent Crime, Trafficking Heroin, and Violation of Probation.
Rahim Larenz Harmon 23 years old has been charged with Possession of a Weapon During the Commission of a Violent Crime, and Trafficking Heroin.
Both individuals are being housed at the Newberry County Detention Center pending their bond hearing this morning.
Sheriff Foster encouraged anyone with any information about violent crime, drugs, or any criminal activity to contact the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office at (803) 321-2222 or contact Crime stoppers at 888-CRIMESC or you can use the Crime stoppers app. You may submit the information anonymously.
