On Tuesday, December 28, 2021, the Narcotics/Vice Unit, SWAT and K-9 executed a search warrant at 2312 Adams Lane as part of an active narcotics investigation. The search led to the seizure of 40 grams of heroin, worth $4,000 on the street.

Officers also seized 4 grams of cocaine and 14 grams of marijuana. A stolen shotgun, two handguns and two vehicles were confiscated as well.

Jackson’s charges include trafficking heroin, possession of controlled substance, receiving stolen property second degree, certain persons forbidden to possess a pistol, and possession of marijuana second degree.
