Description: Florence, South Carolina criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute over 400 grams of fentanyl.

In 2021, agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) began investigating a possible clandestine pill pressing operation out of Myrtle Beach after learning that multiple pill press machines were sent to Kelly Brosky’s and her codefendant’s home. Law enforcement conducted surveillance operations, which led to them executing a search warrant at the home on March 9, 2022.

Agents seized over 6,000 pills, approximately $293,000 in cash, and other valuables. Financial records showed that Brosky and her co-conspirators transferred thousands of dollars in drug proceeds to and from their Cash App accounts.

United States District Judge Joseph Dawson sentenced Brosky to 78 months in prison to be followed by five years of court-ordered supervision. There is no parole in the federal system.

This investigation was a part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Horry County Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Major is prosecuting the case.
