Two brothers from Columbia and an ex-CIA special agent are facing charges for allegedly selling marijuana in South Carolina.
The ex-agent is also a former Navy SEAL and he was arrested in Charlotte in connection with a national drug smuggling case. Authorities say he flew to Columbia to pick up drug money from the brothers on multiple occasions.
The arrest of the brothers in Columbia on Saturday is a result of a three-year investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
