Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) District 6 patrol officers took multiple pounds of illegal drugs off our streets after a bust at a smoke shop.


On Sunday, March 29, 2026, officers responded to a smoke shop off Lem Turner Road after receiving information a wanted drug trafficker out of Gainesville was inside. When the officers arrived, they found plenty of illegal drugs and guns in plain view.

Here’s what we found:

  • 3 grams of Cocaine
  • 10 pounds of Marijuana
  • Drug paraphernalia
