MONCKS CORNER, S.C. - (Tuesday, April 21, 2026) Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis announced the arrest of a man who was charged after a seven month long investigation into the sale of illegal narcotics. Aundreas Martell Johnson, 36, of Resinwood Road in Moncks Corner, was arrested on March 22. Johnson faces charges of Trafficking Co***ne 400 grams or more, Trafficking Methamphetamine 400 grams or more, Trafficking Co***ne Base 10-28 grams, Possession of a Weapon During the Commission of a Violent Crime (x12), Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon (x4), and Possession of a Stolen Firearm.

In September 2025, detectives with the Berkeley County Narcotics Task Force began an investigation after receiving information about illegal narcotic activity. During the investigation, Johnson was identified as a distributor of Methamphetamine and Co***ne in the Moncks Corner area.

Detectives executed a search warrant at a residence on Resinwood Road in Moncks Corner. During the search, investigators located a large-scale drug trafficking operation, including:
• Approximately 2.24 pounds of Co***ne
• Approximately 4.29 pounds of Methamphetamine
• Approximately 27.3 grams of Co***ne Base
• Five fi****ms, with one being reported stolen out of Moncks Corner Police Department’s jurisdiction
• Approximately $230,100 in US Currency
• Drug packaging materials, digital scales, a money counter, and other distribution equipment

Investigators also recovered documents and electronic evidence linking Johnson to narcotics distribution activities, including CashApp transactions associated with drug sales. A financial freeze order later revealed more than $30,000 in a CashApp account linked to narcotics proceeds and approximately $25,900 in additional banking assets.

In total, law enforcement seized approximately $286,714 in cash and financial assets as part of the investigation.

“This investigation demonstrates the ongoing commitment of our narcotics task force to identify, investigate, and dismantle those responsible for flooding our communities with dangerous narcotics,” Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis stated. “This individual was identified as one of Berkeley County’s biggest drug dealers.”

Johnson remains in custody at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center pending further judicial proceedings.
