A Lexington man accused of drug trafficking charges was arrested earlier this month.

Ratravious Untwai Quattlebaum, 35, is charged with 4 counts of trafficking meth, according to arrest warrants.

“Narcotics agents got a tip about Quattlebaum selling meth,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said this week. “Agents set up multiple controlled drug purchases of trafficking amounts of meth from Quattlebaum.”

Agents later found meth in Quattlebaum’s home while executing a search warrant, according to Koon.
