46-Year-Old Drug Kingpin Gets 20 Years | Columbia News

A 46-year-old drug kingpin, William Larry Javis Jr., just got sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for orchestrating a massive drug operation across Columbia and Lexington County — moving tons of meth, cocaine, fentanyl, and weed. He wasn’t just dealing; he managed stash houses, hotel rooms, and even sold guns while on probation for a prior drug conviction. With a rap sheet full of past federal offenses, including evading police, the judge handed down the maximum sentence — no parole, plus 10 years of supervised release after his term ends. This isn’t just another bust — it’s a full-blown empire dismantled. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
