Pharmacist Aids Police in Arrest

Summerville Police arrested Jeremy Blue Craig, 34, of North Charleston after he allegedly tried to purchase a 96-pill box of pseudoephedrine June 25 at the Walgreen's on N. Main Street. 

He was charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and not for the attempted purchase. Pseudoephedrine is commonly used in the production of methamphetamine.

According to the incident report, Craig had tried to purchase the pills but when the pharmacist, who asked to remain anonymous, ran his name through the system, it showed he had already purchased the maximum amount of pseudoephedrine allowed by law. 

The pharmacist reported the incident to Summerville Police, who arrived on scene and located Craig's vehicle. According to the report, the police officers then followed Craig's vehicle down the road to the CVS at E. 2nd North Street. 

When the police made contact with Craig, they became suspicious of drug activity and searched the vehicle after obtaining permission, according to the report. 

A K-9 was used, and it allegedly discovered a bolt socket with a smoke-stained glass pipe, taped at the end.
