U.S. Attorney Adair F. Boroughs, together with federal, state, and local law enforcement officials, announced Saturday that 20 individuals were charged in federal court in connection with firearms-trafficking, narcotics, conspiracy, or other firearms offenses after a targeted violent crime reduction initiative in West Columbia. The indictments are a result of a series of coordinated arrests made following a targeted multi-agency operation that spanned several months.
