Jackson County, FL – The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday that 14 individuals were arrested following a months-long narcotics investigation targeting the sale and distribution of methamphetamine, MDMA, and other illegal drugs across the county.
According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, the operation began in May 2025 and focused on identifying suspects allegedly selling drugs near schools, worship centers, and local businesses. Sheriff Donald Edenfield said the coordinated effort reflects the agency’s ongoing commitment to “safeguarding neighborhoods and holding offenders accountable.”
Those arrested face a range of charges, including selling controlled substances, trafficking methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute, and conspiracy to traffic MDMA. Among the suspects are Starla Simco, Tanya Henry, and Tiffany Jean Hughes—each charged with multiple meth-related offenses. Others, including Bobby Baker Jr. and Lasonia Wesley, face conspiracy charges involving MDMA and firearm possession.
Sheriff Edenfield emphasized the community impact of these arrests, stating, “People who choose to profit from poison put our families at risk, and we will continue to pursue them.”
Officials encourage anyone with information on drug activity in the county to contact the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 482-9624.
