BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – One Lowcountry man’s “trick” didn’t fool Berkeley County deputies this Halloween season.
According to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office, 50-year-old Jason Wyndham of Ladson was recently pulled over during what began as a routine traffic stop, but things quickly got spooky when deputies spotted something suspicious tucked where it definitely didn’t belong.
Authorities said Wyndham had a crystal-like package hidden in his pants, which turned out to be about 59 grams of methamphetamine — not exactly Halloween candy.
A K9 unit helped sniff out the stash, and Wyndham was promptly given a one-way trip to the Hill-Finklea Detention Center, the sheriff’s office joked in a social media post.

Wyndham is now facing drug charges and being held on a $10,000 surety bond, deputies said.
The sheriff’s office added a tongue-in-cheek warning for would-be offenders this October: “Don’t let meth monsters sneak up on you… and definitely don’t hide things in your pants.”
