COLUMBIA, SC — A Longs man has been sentenced to more than six years in federal prison after investigators linked him to fentanyl distribution and illegal firearm possession during a multi‑agency drug trafficking investigation.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina, Quentin Raymar Price, 32, sold a total of 60 grams of fentanyl to undercover Horry County Police Department officers during three controlled purchases in late 2024 and early 2025.
On March 24, 2025, members of the Richland County Sheriff’s Department and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force located Price at an apartment on Polo Road in Columbia to serve arrest warrants stemming from the Horry County investigation. Officers reported seeing marijuana inside the residence, obtained a search warrant, and recovered:
- Two firearms
- 53 grams of cocaine
- 20 grams of crack cocaine
- $7,250 in cash
- Personal items belonging to Price
Federal prosecutors noted that Price has a prior federal conviction for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, which bars him from possessing firearms or ammunition. During the investigation, the FBI also determined Price was an active gang member.
U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie sentenced Price to 80 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system. Price was additionally ordered to forfeit $7,250 in cash and more than $90,000 in jewelry.
The case was investigated by the FBI Columbia Field Office, Horry County Police Department, Richland County Sheriff’s Department, and Lexington County Sheriff’s Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lamar J. Fyall prosecuted the case.
