Myrtle Beach man sentenced for second-offense crack distribution tied to Horry County PD operation
A Myrtle Beach man was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to a second-offense distribution charge tied to a controlled buy conducted with a law enforcement informant. The 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office reported that Aliga Campbell, 30, of Myrtle Beach, pleaded guilty to second-offense distribution of crack cocaine and was sentenced to 10 years in prison by the Honorable Circuit Court Judge B. Alex Hyman.
According to the solicitor’s office, the charged conduct arose when Campbell sold crack cocaine and Fent to a confidential informant working with the Horry County Police Department in August 2025. The office said Campbell entered a guilty plea to the distribution counts rather than proceed to trial. The filing and sentence were handled through the 15th Circuit Solicitor’s Office.
Prosecutors noted Campbell had a prior narcotics conviction from 2023; that earlier conviction increased his exposure under state sentencing rules and led the solicitor’s office to classify the offense as a “serious” crime under South Carolina’s three-strike law. Court records cited by the solicitor’s office reflect the 10-year term imposed at sentencing.
At this time the solicitor’s office is the documented source for the plea, the factual basis tying the sale to Horry County Police Department activity, the prior conviction, and the sentence imposed. No other case developments or appeals were documented in the provided report.
