JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Detectives with Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office’s Narcotics Unit removed what they said is more than 7,000 potentially fatal doses of Fentanyl and other illicit drugs during a bust in the Magnolia Gardens area.
The May 15 operation targeted 32-year-old Allen Johnson, who was identified as selling drugs from a motel, a JSO social media post states.
Police said Johnson conducted his drug sales from motels located off Edgewood Avenue. Narcotics Unit detectives focused on building evidence against Johnson to secure a search warrant for his room, the social media post states.
