North Charleston – Terrance Wilson, a 57-year-old man, has been arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including hindering an investigation into a stabbing incident and drug possession. The arrest took place on Sunday following an incident that unfolded in the early hours of the morning.
North Charleston Police responded to a report at a local hospital at 3:36 a.m. regarding a man who had been stabbed. According to the victim, the attack was carried out using a small keychain knife. Officers conducted an investigation that led them to the Klux Event Center on Dorchester Road, where the stabbing was believed to have occurred.
Upon arrival, officers discovered a crime scene located in the women’s bathroom of the event center. They found Wilson, an employee on the cleaning crew, in the process of cleaning the bathroom when they entered. Observations indicated that the event center was filled with smoke and had a strong odor of marijuana.
Officers instructed Wilson to cease cleaning in order to preserve the potential evidence, but he allegedly refused to comply with their orders. As a result, he was placed in handcuffs by assisting officers at the scene.
A search of Wilson’s belongings led to the discovery of significant quantities of suspected illegal narcotics. Authorities found a large bag of pills believed to be illegal. Additionally, in Wilson’s pocket, officers discovered a green bag containing a clear bag with 1.40 grams of pink powder. This substance tested positive for fentanyl. A second clear bag contained 5.1 grams of pink pills that also tested positive for fentanyl, while a larger bag weighing 48.9 grams was filled with multicolored pills confirming the presence of methamphetamine.
During questioning, Wilson claimed that he had found the green bag on the floor of the event center and did not take ownership of the drugs discovered. He was subsequently booked into the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center. His bond was set at $105,000.
The ongoing investigation into the stabbing incident raises concerns about public safety and drug-related crimes in the area. Police continue to examine the situation manually as part of their inquiry into the stabbing and the circumstances surrounding Wilson’s activities at the event center.
