Horry County Police in South Carolina are actively searching for Wesley Predelus, who remains at large and is wanted in connection with a significant drug trafficking investigation. Predelus is described as a 6-foot-3-inch male weighing 205 pounds. He is wanted on charges of trafficking methamphetamine following a major bust that occurred on September 30 on Freemont Road. The investigation has resulted in the seizure of more than 30 pounds of various controlled substances, including methamphetamine, cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana, and a particularly concerning amount of fentanyl. Medical experts, including Chief Medical Officer Paul Richardson, have highlighted the severe public health implications of the seizure, noting that the recovered 3.32 pounds of fentanyl alone could have caused thousands of overdoses. Richardson emphasized that the scope of the seizure makes it difficult to measure the full impact, stating that the drugs removed from circulation likely saved thousands of lives. Horry County Police Captain Jesse Ard stated that the department is committed to locating Predelus, emphasizing that safety for the public, officers, and suspects is paramount in their operational planning. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities indicate that additional arrests, charges, and seizures are possible. Residents with information regarding Predelus’s whereabouts are urged to contact the Horry County Police Department immediately. The department continues to appeal for community support in their efforts to bring the suspect to justice.
