David Beamer, an assistant solicitor, along with Joshua Holford, a senior assistant solicitor, prosecuted the case for the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office.
“The Solicitor’s Office would like to extend their thanks to the officers with the Horry County Police Department and agents of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division for all their hard work on the case,” Beamer said.
On Sept. 23, 2022, Bueno had about 17 pounds of marijuana mailed to his home from Washington State. Then, law enforcement conducted a search warrant on his home and found drugs hidden in the insulation of the home.
