BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–United States Attorney Bill Nettles announced Tuesday that Huger homeowner, John Nick, 60, was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for money laundering.
The sentence was imposed by United States District Court Judge Patrick Michael Duffy.
Authorities say Nick owned and operated Nick’s Auto Sales located at 4154 Rivers Avenue, North Charleston.
From 2008 to 2010, Nick is said to have taken payments of approximately $97,000 in cash from five individuals who were drug dealers or claimed to be drug dealers, all to purchase cars.
Nettles stated that Nick then covered up the transaction by titling the cars in the name of a nominees or creating false liens to protect the cars from forfeiture for violations of drug laws.
The case was investigated by Special Agents with the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Eric Klumb prosecuted the case.
