Two men were arrested after the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office seized about 215,000 lethal doses of fentanyl during a drug bust<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Friday, July 10, JSO says it executed search warrants after a months-long investigation into two individuals: 49-year-old Alejandro Villasana and 36-year-old Javaris Williams.<\/p>\n

The first warrant, served at Williams’ apartment on N. Main Street, found four kilograms of Fentanyl, a “sum” of Molly\/MDMA, and multiple scales. A firearm was also seized from Williams’ apartment, according to JSO.<\/p>\n

Williams is charged with trafficking in dangerous fentanyl or fentanyl analogues, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

The second warrant, served on Villasana’s rental vehicle, said officers found “a large sum” of money, also known as a drug band. According to JSO’s investigation, Villasana had flown to the First Coast from Chicago to deliver the drugs.<\/p>\n

Villasana is charged with trafficking in dangerous fentanyl or fentanyl analogues<\/p>\n

Two other search warrants were executed on the same day, one for Williams’ vehicle and the other for Villasana’s hotel room; however, the agency says that no evidence related to the bust was found.<\/p>\n

“This is a significant win in our fight against Fentanyl,” JSO says. “The amount seized in this bust could kill everyone in our downtown ballpark and arena\u2026 eight times. It’s almost a quarter of a million deadly doses removed from our streets.”<\/p>\n

JSO encourages any suspected drug movement to be sent to them at 904-630-0500.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two men were arrested after the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office seized about 215,000 lethal doses of fentanyl during a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":340371,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[139846,8014,116,118,117,45740,139847,1872,4316,29614],"class_list":["post-340370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-alejandro-villasana","tag-drug-bust","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-jacksonville-sheriff39s-office","tag-javaris-williams","tag-jso","tag-search-warrants","tag-williams"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340370"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340370\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
