A South Carolina woman was arrested last week after authorities allegedly discovered nearly 1,500 grams of fentanyl while she was being monitored for "drug-selling activities."

Spartanburg resident Katelin Lee Abernathy, 25, was arrested Thursday, Aug. 24, after a traffic stop revealed 941 grams of fentanyl, 20 grams of meth, one Glock pistol and one SKS rifle, the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday.

Abernathy was already under surveillance when she was stopped on Candlenut Lane in the Boiling Springs area, the sheriff's office said. A K-9 alerted deputies to the drugs during the stop.

After the traffic stop, authorities obtained a search warrant for a storage unit Abernathy used. At the unit, they found 531 grams of fentanyl, three handguns and four "long guns," the SCSO said.

Abernathy is charged with trafficking methamphetamine, trafficking fentanyl and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. She was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center with no bond.

The investigation into Abernathy's alleged "drug-selling activities" was conducted by the sheriff's office, Spartanburg County Narcotics Unit, Spartanburg County Home Detention, Spartanburg County ICE Team, Homeland Security Investigations, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division and Union County Sheriff’s Office.

According to calculations by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the fentanyl allegedly found in Abernathy's possession had the potential to kill around 736,000 people.

Fentanyl is considered to be one of the most dangerous drugs on the market and a "major contributor to fatal and nonfatal overdoses" in America, according to the CDC.

The synthetic opioid is about 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine, according to the DEA, and only two milligrams of fentanyl has the potential kill an adult.

The DEA reports more than 46.4 million fentanyl pills and 6,900 pounds of fentanyl powder have been seized so far in 2023 – representing approximately 204 million deadly doses.

Podcaster Joe Rogan spoke to musician Oliver Anthony about his rise to fame after releasing the hit song "Rich Men North of Richmond" and mocked the outrage it's caused.

The red-bearded Virginia farmer and musician rose from relative obscurity to ranking #1 on Billboard Hot 100 for a song he recorded while out in the American wilderness. 

Not all of the American public has praised the artist, however. Some have objected to his lyrics lamenting that the "obese" are "milkin’ welfare" and his declaration that "if you’re 5-ft.-3 and you’re 300 lbs, taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds."

On Wednesday, Rogan mentioned that his song has become "a subject of discussion" to the point where "everybody is getting involved," citing how Dwight from "The Office," actor Rainn Wilson, "chimed in" on its lyrics. 

Wilson, who played Dwight in "The Office" wrote in a social media post: "If I were writing a song about ‘rich men north of richmond’ I wouldnt talk about obese people on welfare, I’d sing about CEOs who make 400 times their average workers salary (up from 50 times 30 years ago) & corps that pay zero taxes & offshore tax shelters for billionaires."

Rogan turned the scrutiny back on Wilson himself and joked, "There is nothing funnier than millionaires talking s--- about billionaires. There is nothing funnier about millionaires pretending, ‘These billionaires are out-of-touch.’"

Rogan then suggested, "Take Dwight from 'The Office' down to West Virginia, take him through those coal-mining countries, take him through those places in Appalachia where people have extreme poverty" noting that "pills" have devastated those regions.

"Throughout rural Virginia, that poverty is a big issue, and drugs are a big issue, and I mean it's not just even in the rural areas, and you go into downtown Richmond or any downtown anywhere for that matter," Anthony said.

He added that lately it appears that these problems "exist everywhere now," to the point that "that's why the song resonated the way it did."
