In a startling turn of events, Greenville residents awoke to the news that a man was arrested on Wednesday after sheriff’s deputies uncovered a stash of drugs and firearms in a motel room. This incident has sent ripples through the community, shining a light on ongoing concerns about illegal drug activities in the area.
A Tip-Off Sparks Investigation
The story began when the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office received an anonymous tip regarding possible illegal drug activity at the Days Inn located on Roper Mountain Road. Determined to get to the bottom of this situation, authorities launched a narcotics investigation. It was deemed serious enough that they executed a search warrant at the motel, leading to a shocking discovery.
Bags of Trouble Discovered
As deputies entered the room, they were met with an alarming find: a variety of drugs that could endanger the community. The haul included a staggering:
- Six ounces of fentanyl, a potent opioid that has been linked to a growing number of overdose deaths.

- Six grams of methamphetamine, a highly addictive stimulant.
- 0.4 grams of cocaine, a well-known illicit drug.

To add to the gravity of the situation, deputies also uncovered two firearms in the room. Both weapons were found to be illegally possessed, with one reported stolen. This concerning combination of drugs and firearms raised serious questions about safety and crime in the area.
Meet the Offender
The man at the center of this investigation is Clastimile Javasz Dixon, 43, who was apprehended by the multi-jurisdictional drug enforcement unit that day. Dixon now faces a slew of charges that include:
- Trafficking fentanyl, which is a severe crime given the drug’s lethality.
- Distribution of fentanyl, highlighting his role in spreading this dangerous substance.
- Distribution of cocaine base, pointing to his involvement with another illicit drug.
- Possession of cocaine, which compounds his legal issues.
- Possession of a weapon during a violent crime, an enhancement that could lead to harsher penalties.
- Possession of a stolen pistol, which raises further questions about his past.
What’s Next for Dixon?
Dixon is currently in custody at the Greenville County Detention Center, where he is being held on a bond set at $70,000. The charges could lead to a lengthy prison sentence should he be convicted. The authorities’ decisive action has sparked conversations throughout the community about the ongoing drug problem and the safety of residents.
