Major Drug Pipeline Busted in Charleston | Charleston News

A major drug trafficking pipeline from Mexico to Charleston has been shattered in a sweeping operation called Operation Last Stand, resulting in 30 arrests and 59 charges across five indictments. Led by Attorney General Alan Wilson, the yearlong investigation targeted international cartels and gangs—including those from Venezuela—fueling cocaine, meth, and fentanyl flows into South Carolina. Triggered by a raid at The Alamo nightclub in North Charleston, authorities also uncovered how criminal networks exploit immigrant communities and nightlife hubs. With cross-state cooperation from Texas, Florida, and Georgia, law enforcement dismantled a complex, multi-state operation—and the hunt isn’t over: more arrests are expected as the probe continues.
