A Charleston guy is arrested after a drug investigation

Charleston Police arrested 27-year-old Leon Horlbeck-Campbell on January 21, 2026, after a months-long probe into downtown drug sales, executing a search warrant at his MAA Westchase Apartment residence. Officers seized cocaine, cocaine base (crack), marijuana, and thousands in cash, charging him with five counts of cocaine trafficking, one count of cocaine base trafficking, and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

Offender Background

Horlbeck-Campbell was on probation for a prior drug offense under South Carolina Probation, Parole and Pardon Services at the time. He was booked into Al Cannon Detention Center following the raid by the department’s Special Investigations Unit.

Local Context

This bust targets ongoing drug issues in Charleston’s downtown core, amid heightened regional law enforcement scrutiny—including recent Mount Pleasant Police exam cheating scandal and school lockdowns. Police seek additional tips via 843-720-2422 or their anonymous portal.​
