A South Carolina man is behind bars after allegedly dealing meth in game room

A South Carolina man was arrested after deputies were following up on reports of alleged drug dealings.

According to Stephens County Sheriff Randy Shirley, his investigators were looking into recent complaints of a suspect dealing methamphetamine in a local gas station’s game room.

He says that his investigators were watching the suspect, identified as Randy Clint Funderburk, 45, of South Carolina, when he pulled out of the gas station parking lot.

Investigators were able to initiate a traffic stop, in the Town Plaza parking lot on Big A Road, after the suspect swerved across the yellow line multiple times while watching them in his rear-view mirror.

Shirley said during the traffic stop a K-9 from the Toccoa Police Department indicated the presence of illegal drugs in the vehicle; prompting officials to ask Funderbur to step out of the vehicle where he was patted down for weapons.

During the pat down investigators located a glass smoking device used to consume methamphetamine in his pocket.

Funderbur was then placed under arrest and searched. During the search of his person and vehicle multiple baggies of suspected methamphetamine were uncovered as well as a set of digital scales and two firearms.

Shirley continued to add that investigators with the assistance of a Toccoa Police Department K-9 officer, obtained a search warrant for the Quality Inn room 301 where Funderburk was staying.

During this search, investigators located additional digital scales and packaging material in a lock box in the room.

Funderburk was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

He is currently at the Stephens County Jail awaiting a bond hearing.
