The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Community Problem Response Unit arrested 40-year-old Anthony Smokes last month following an investigation into felony charges.

Detectives went to Smokes’ apartment on Tamaya Boulevard, near Beach Boulevard and Kernan Boulevard, to take him into custody. During the arrest, evidence of drug activity was found, leading to a search warrant for his home.

The search uncovered:

  • 613.7 grams of Fentanyl (over 306,000 potentially lethal doses)
  • 5,115.84 grams of Methamphetamine
  • 244.8 grams of Powder Cocaine
  • 53.5 grams of Crack Cocaine
  • 153.5 grams of Marijuana
  • 1 pistol
  • Nearly $45,000 in cash

Smokes now faces multiple felony charges. Authorities noted this is not his first arrest; he has been arrested nearly two dozen times previously.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office encourages residents to report suspicious activity by calling 904-630-0500 or anonymously through First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
