EDGEMOOR, S.C. (WBTV) – Authorities recently seized enough drugs to “kill more than 800,000 people” from a home in Chester County, officials said, resulting in the arrests of a man and woman.
The seizure was the largest ever made by the Chester County Sheriff’s Office, and consisted of 3.7 pounds of fentanyl, 87 grams of crack cocaine and approximately two pounds of marijuana. Deputies also took 17 guns, two vehicles and over $91,000 in cash.
“These drugs had the potential to kill more than 800,000 people,” Sheriff Max Dorsey said. “These drugs are killing people throughout our country, and Chester County is no exception. Nevertheless — our office will continue to use every resource available to eradicate every drug trafficker and dealer from Chester County.”
Following the seizure of the illegal drugs on Jan. 31, Travaris and Lamonica Dixon were both arrested.

Both Travaris and Lamonica were charged with the following offenses:
- Trafficking 28 g. or more of fentanyl
- Trafficking 28-100 g. crack cocaine
- Possession with intent to distribute marijuana
- Possession of a weapon during a violent crime
The sheriff’s office said the investigation was still active as of Feb. 3, and more charges could be pressed.
“The lives of our citizens are too valuable to be wasted all because of selfish and money hungry drug dealers wanting to prey on vulnerable people struggling with addiction,” Dorsey said. “I encourage families who know of people struggling with an opioid addiction to seek immediate help, because any delay could come at a deadly cost.”
During a news conference on Feb. 3, Dorsey said Travaris and Lamonica Dixon are married.
