Deondera Trell Drayton, 35; Xavier Rayshawn Hemingway, 31; and Davon Shaqile McRoy, 28, were arrested early Thursday morning after a joint investigation by the State Bureau of Investigation, (SBI), South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) and Columbus County Sheriff’s Office. The SBI said in a press release that SLED investigators flagged a “suspicious package” in Myrtle Beach and contacted the SBI. The package was being sent to a home with a Tabor City address. The sheriff’s office and SBI obtained a search warrant on that information and executed the warrant on Drayton’s home Thursday morning. Four pounds of meth and a quantity of cocaine was found in the package, the SBI said. Drayton gave her address as 24398 Peacock Rd., Tabor City. She was charged with conspiracy to traffic meth and cocaine; trafficking cocaine and meth; maintaining a place for drug activities, manufacturing meth; possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver meth and cocaine; and drug paraphernalia. Her bond was set at $100,000. Hemingway, of 793 McCrimmon Ext., Tabor City, was held under $1.213 million bond. He also charges of conspiracy to traffic meth and cocaine; trafficking cocaine and meth; maintaining a place for drug activities, manufacturing meth; possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver meth and cocaine; and drug paraphernalia. He was also charged with assault and battery, assault on a handicapped person, and attempted larceny in an unrelated case. He allegedly tossed a quantity of drugs while trying to get away from deputies, warrants said. McRoy was charged with conspiracy to traffic meth and cocaine, and resist, obstruct or delay an officer. McRoy allegedly gave investigators a false name while he was being detained. His address was listed as 145 Fronnie Hayes Circle, Fair Bluff. The SBI expressed its appreciation to SLED and the sheriff’s office for their cooperation. Copyright 2026 © Columbuscountynews.com and Southeastern Community News LLC. All rights reserved.
