Sheriff’s Office makes drug case

Pseudoephedrine is a recognized decongestant, but also an ingredient to make methamphetamine.  And an attempt to buy pseudoephedrine above the legal limit has landed one Oconeean in trouble with the law.  The Sheriff’s Office has announced the arrest early yesterday of Thomas Lee Lanning of the Johnny Cox Road, Westminster.     A narcotics agent began to investigate December 1 and determined Lanning was blocked or denied from purchasing pseudoephedrine, with the most recent block November 23. That attempted November block placed the total amount above the legal amount of 9 grams that one individual can purchase in a 30 day period.
