Westminster Man charged with Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor

The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Westminster man on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Deputies booked 19-year-old Anthony Brett Shaw of 146 Dewey Street into the Oconee County Detention Center after picking him up at an address on Highway 24. Agents from the Narcotics Unit of the Sheriff’s Office responded to an address on Blackjack Road late Monday morning due to the parent of a child finding drug paraphernalia in the child’s room. Once there, the agents were shown a black bag with drug paraphernalia inside. Deputies discovered that Shaw had given the child the bag that contained the drug paraphernalia to keep for him but that Shaw wanted the bag back. Text messages from Shaw also revealed that he would get the child marijuana and that he wanted pills. Deputies obtained warrants against Shaw on Tuesday.
