Man who cops say had enough drugs to kill thousands could soon be back on streets
A man with enough drugs to kill more than 20,000 people could soon be back on the street if he posts bond.
Anthony Williams was in Horry County Court this week to request bond on several charges related to his November 2019 arrest. Judge Steven John set his bond at $175,000 for all charges, which means he would be released from jail if he posts the 10% bail.
He had not posted the bond as of Thursday afternoon.
Myrtle Beach police responded to the Viking Oceanfront Motel, 1811 S. Ocean Blvd., for an unresponsive woman. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
When officers entered the room, they found Williams with a “large quantity of illicit drugs.”
Police Chief Amy Prock spoke at a November hearing for Williams and said he was arrested with 49,000 milligrams of Fentanyl. The Drug Enforcement Administration says it takes two milligrams to kill a person, she added.
“This is enough fentanyl to kill over 24,000 individuals, nearly the entire permanent population of the city of Myrtle Beach,” Prock said.
According to the arrest warrants, Williams also had 33 ecstasy pills, 26.7 grams of heroin and 76 grams of methamphetamine.
