Alex Murdaugh, 54, told cops he was spending $60,000 a week on drugs - that would buy 750 of the best pills at $80 each. It is physically impossible to consume that many pills.

Police confirmed last night that Joey Coleman, a local drug dealer, made the threat on the Colleton County courthouse in Walterboro, South Carolina, on February 8.

Alex Murdaugh, 54, is accused of killing his wife and son on June 7, 2021, in a bid to distract from the millions he embezzled from his law firm while gripped by a $60,000 a week opioid habit.

Alex Murdaugh's alleged drug trafficking ring in South Carolina involved two accused money launderers reportedly with ties to the Bloods-affiliated Walterboro Cowboys gang.
