COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – A West Columbia motorcycle gang member was sentenced to 25 years in prison for trafficking meth.

Steven Brown known as “Steve-O” was convicted of trafficking 400 grams or more of methamphetamine by a Lexington County jury last week.

He was sentenced on Aug. 10, 2023, by Circuit Court Judge Thomas W. Cooper.

In 2018, investigators from the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department narcotics enforcement and crime reduction teams received information that Brown was trafficking drugs.

During an ongoing investigation in 2020, law enforcement got more information that Brown would travel to Atlanta, Georgia, to purchase large amounts of meth to bring back into Lexington County.

So in June of that year, a criminal interdiction team with a drug detection K9 did a traffic stop on Brown’s vehicle during his return trip from Atlanta.
