A former University of South Carolina teacher has been charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and improper disposal of methamphetamine waste.
John Allen Hancock IV and his sister, who was charged for the same offenses, turned themselves in Tuesday morning following the bust of a methamphetamine manufacturing operation in a Trenholm Road-area neighborhood earlier in the month, The State reports.
Hancock previously served as a part-time member of the teaching staff for USC's English Program for Internationals, which is not part of the Department of English.
In addition to their shared charges, Hancock's sister has also been charged with unlawful possession of a schedule IV controlled substance and simple possession of marijuana.
Both suspects are being held at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.
The Daily Gamecock has contacted Hancock. He has not returned the request to comment on the issue.
UPDATE: A previous version of this article had not identified Hancock as a former USC employee. The Daily Gamecock regrets the error.
