Jarman Lamar White, the final defendant in a major York County drug conspiracy, received a 15-year federal prison sentence for his role in a counterfeit pill operation producing tens of thousands of fentanyl-laced tablets daily.
Operation Details
White, 39, from Rock Hill, supplied his girlfriend’s basement as a hub for the Darryl Hemphill organization, housing pill-press machines and equipment that churned out fake Roxicodone pills mimicking 30mg oxycodone but loaded with fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine. Surveillance and intercepted calls confirmed his active involvement, including a single-day output of 50,000 pills.
Raid and Post-Arrest Activity
A June 2018 raid seized pill presses, mixers, binders, masks, and a 9mm pistol from White’s backpack. Despite arrest, he continued dealing, completing three undercover fentanyl pill sales to York County drug enforcement agents.
Sentencing Outcome
U.S. District Judge Mary Geiger Lewis imposed 180 months in prison with 10 years supervision under the Homeland Security Task Force initiative targeting cartels. The case involved FBI, DEA, ATF, SLED, and local agencies.
