SOUTH CAROLINA — A Berkeley County man was arrested Sunday night after a traffic stop led to a vehicle pursuit and the discovery of drugs and a firearm in Moncks Corner, according to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said the incident began on Jan. 11 when a sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop a white 2007 Chevrolet Colorado pickup traveling north on Highway 52 near Horne Street.

Dennis Boulevard, Old Highway 52, and the Shannonwood Drive area. Deputies reported speeds reached approximately 78 miles per hour. Stop sticks were deployed twice, and the vehicle eventually stopped in the Shannonwood neighborhood…
