Georgetown man sentenced to 10 years after pleading guilty to cocaine distribution charges

CONWAY, SC – A 49-year-old Georgetown man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of second-offense possession with intent to distribute cocaine, prosecutors announced Tuesday.

Honore Davis entered the guilty plea on January 20, just days before his trial was set to begin in Horry County. Circuit Court Judge Alex Hyman presided over the hearing and handed down two 10-year sentences to be served concurrently.

Davis was arrested in February 2024 following coordinated investigations by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) and the Myrtle Beach Police Department. Authorities said Davis sold cocaine to confidential informants on multiple occasions in 2023 in the Myrtle Beach area.

The charges are classified as serious offenses under South Carolina law, meaning they qualify as “strikes” in the state’s three-strike rule used for repeat offenders. Davis has prior convictions for similar drug offenses.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant Solicitor David Beamer on behalf of the Fifteenth Circuit Solicitor’s Office.

Officials credited Agent Jessica Gregg of SLED and Officer Jackson Lange of the Myrtle Beach Police Department for their work in the investigation and prosecution of the case.

Key Points

  • Honore Davis, 49, pleaded guilty to two counts of second-offense cocaine distribution
  • He was sentenced to 10 years in prison for each count, to run concurrently
  • The charges stemmed from 2023 undercover drug sales in Myrtle Beach
