Quincey Oneil Jackson and Quinton Oneil Jackson, both aged 41 and residents of Columbia, have been sentenced to over 15 years in federal prison after admitting guilt to a conspiracy involving the intent to distribute five kilograms or more of illegal drugs.
Court records indicate that from 2020 through July 2024, the twin brothers operated a large-scale drug trafficking operation distributing cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl. On April 12, 2024, law enforcement executed a search warrant at their shared residence and confiscated methamphetamine, fentanyl, marijuana, as well as a firearm.
United States District Judge Sherri A. Lydon ordered both men to serve 188 months in prison followed by supervised release. Federal inmates are not eligible for parole.
The investigation was conducted by several agencies: the Drug Enforcement Administration; Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office; Richland County Sheriff’s Department; City of Columbia Police Department; and Lexington County Sheriff’s Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Major is handling the prosecution.
