Irmo Police Chief Courtney Dennis on Wednesday announced that a subject who was on home detention for trafficking methamphetamine from Spartanburg County was arrested by the Irmo Police Department.
Joseph Sinclair Cromer, 29, of Irmo, was arrested at his home in Friarsgate for Trafficking Cocaine, Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana, Possession of a Firearm by a convicted felon, Possession of a Weapon during a violent crime, and Unlawful Conduct Toward a Child, Dennis said. Cromer was taken into custody at his residence by Irmo Police, SLED agents and Spartanburg County deputies. Cromer was booked in Richland County at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center, where a bond hearing will be scheduled.
During the execution of a search warrant, investigators located drugs, a gun and over $42,000 in cash. Also, inside the home during this incident were 5 children ranging from ages 6 to 14d.
Cromer’s arrest resulted from the cooperative efforts of the Irmo Police Department, State Law Enforcement Division, and Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office.
“This is an excellent example of how well law enforcement agencies can work together on a statewide basis to catch criminals,” Dennis said.
