Crack Distribution Ring Busted in Marion, South Carolina

Florence, South Carolina — A Marion man has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for his involvement in a crack distribution ring.

Kevin Delane Davis, 46, was sentenced to 72 months in federal prison, to be followed by a three-year term of court-ordered supervision. According to court records, there is no parole in the federal system.

The evidence presented to the court established that from 2017 to 2019, Davis was involved in a conspiracy to distribute crack in Marion County. On three separate occasions in 2019, Davis sold crack to a confidential informant working for law enforcement. These controlled purchases took place in Marion.

On June 25, 2019, agents executed a search warrant at Davis’s residence in Marion during which they recovered more crack, cash, and digital scales used to weigh drugs.

The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Marion County Combined Drug Unit. Assistant United States Attorney Brad Parham of the Florence office prosecuted the case.
