Kershaw County Man Pleads Guilty to Drug Distribution

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Van Lydell Starling, 48, of Kershaw, has pleaded guilty to possession with the intent to distribute crack co***ne.

Evidence obtained in the investigation revealed that on July 20, 2023, investigators with the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at a home on Green Hill Road in Lugoff, which was the known residence of Starling.

During the search, investigators found multiple guns, a box of sandwich bags with a razor blade, several digital scales with white residue on them, a clear container containing crack co***ne residue, a black notebook that appeared to be a drug ledger, Starling’s identification card, and crack co***ne located under the mattress in Starling’s bedroom. Based upon the amounts of drugs, the multiple digital scales, the sandwich bags, and the drug ledger, the police determined that the crack co***ne was intended to be distributed.

Starling faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in federal prison. He also faces a fine of up to $250,000, restitution, and three years of supervision to follow the term of imprisonment. United States District Judge Mary Geiger Lewis accepted the guilty plea and will sentence Starling after receiving and reviewing a sentencing report prepared by the U.S. Probation Office.

This case was investigated by Bureau of Alcohol, To***co, Fi****ms and Explosives and the Kershaw County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney William K. Witherspoon is prosecuting the case.

SHOOTING INVESTIGATION ON HWY 34, CAMDEN

At approximately 7:15 p.m. on May 29, 2026, the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office received a report of a person who had been shot in the leg in the 900 block of Bishopville Highway in Camden.

KCSO deputies arrived on scene, took one suspect into custody, began providing medical aid to the victim by applying a tourniquet to the injured leg, and secured the scene for EMS within seven minutes of the initial call.

The victim was transported by helicopter to an area hospital for treatment. The suspect was transported to the Kershaw County Detention Center.

The suspect and victim are known to each other. At this time, investigators have no reason to believe anyone else was involved in the incident. This was not a random act, and there is no indication that the public is in danger.
