The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office teamed up with the Drug Enforcement Administration for pair of operations targeting drug traffickers in the city and netted a slew of guns and drugs and two arrests, Sheriff T.K. Waters announced Wednesday.
In Operation Tulsa, investigators seized three handguns, two rifles, one kilo of fentanyl, 5.25 pounds of fentanyl pressed into pills, 6 pounds of methamphetamines and 89.40 grams of marijuana.
Waters said the drugs seized were worth a street value of more than $250,000.
Operation Jam resulted in the seizure of one rifle, five pounds of methamphetamines, 1.18 kilos of fentanyl, more than $13,000 in cash and 16.68 pounds of marijuana.
The street value of the drugs seized in Operation Jam was more than $120,000, Waters said.
“These investigations take the people and the substances which fuel violence off our streets,” Waters said. “This proactive policing model stops violence before it happens.”
