Several Pounds of Illegal Drugs, Stolen Firearm Seized in Arlington Hills Bust
October 17, 2025
In August 2025, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) Narcotics Unit detectives served a search warrant at a house on Townsend Village Lane in Arlington Hills.
 

This investigation began after a Jacksonville resident reported some suspicious activity. Detectives immediately began investigating. They determined 43-year-old Benjamin Crawford was selling dangerous drugs from his vehicle and home. On Saturday, August 23, 2025, the search warrant was served and yielded the following results: 
  • 14.6 pounds of Cathinones, also known as Flakka
  • 148 grams of Crack Cocaine
  • 21.8 grams of Powder Cocaine
  • 34 (and a half) Prescription Pills
  • 2 grams of Marijuana
  • 1 firearm (which had been reported stolen nearly a decade ago)
Crawford is now facing several charges stemming from this investigation.

To report suspicious activity, citizens are asked to call 904.630.0500 or email JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org
