OCONEE COUNTY, S.C. (FOX Carolina) – A Walhalla man has been sentenced following a drug investigation. William Justin Holliday, 45, was sentenced to 15 years in the Department of Corrections after the investigation ended with the seizure of trafficking weights of methamphetamine and cocaine. Rather than face a later trial, Holliday pled guilty to the following charges: On December 12, 2024, Narcotic Investigators with the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office uncovered a large amount of methamphetamine and cocaine during the execution of a search warrant. This came after several undercover buys from Holliday at his home on Rock Crush Road. Deputies arrested Holliday after finding nearly 15 grams of methamphetamine, over 21 grams of cocaine, and a .22 caliber handgun in the home. In court, law enforcement informed the judge of Holliday’s history of drug distribution and trafficking of narcotics in the county. Holliday also has numerous drug and property crime convictions in Georgia. Officials said Holliday’s offense is considered both violent and serious, and that he must serve 85 percent of the sentence before he is eligible for parole.
