Aiken County Residents Plead for Action on Drug Problems
A group of about a dozen homeowners near the city edge addressed the County Council Tuesday night urging steps to remove drug dealers and users from McCormick and Ravenel streets intersecting Hampton Avenue. They described fear in their homes as dealers operate late, with gambling and disorder and safety concerns for children. Councilman Willar Hightower noted the area lies outside city limits, though close to the Aiken DPS. Barnwell said he discussed the issue with Sheriff Carrol Heath.
