The sheriff’s office said Craig was arrested after a brief chase. Authorities said a search was done at Craig’s home where $18,000 was seized and Craig was charged with operating a gaming house. Craig is now in federal custody. He faces charges of distribution resulting in death, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, failure to stop for blue lights and reckless driving.“We want our neighborhoods to be safe and for families to live and prosper in Laurens County,” Sheriff Don Reynolds said. “This kind of environment fosters an evil-like lifestyle at the expense of good people. I would like to thank our investigators and the DEA for their work on this case.”
