Jackson County, FL – Two men were arrested this week following a months-long narcotics investigation tied to an ongoing effort to combat drug trafficking across Jackson County, according to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities say the operation, launched in May 2025, has already led to multiple arrests connected to the illegal distribution of drugs throughout the county. On December 9, 2025, deputies—working with the U.S. Marshals Service—took Michael Peak and Adolph Sutton, Jr. into custody. Both have been indicted on federal drug-trafficking charges.
According to investigators, Peak and Sutton, Jr. are each charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance, as well as distribution of a controlled substance.
Sheriff Donnie Edenfield credited the arrests to teamwork between local, state, and federal agencies. “Our deputies work tirelessly to disrupt drug activity, but success like this doesn’t happen alone,” Edenfield said. “When local, state, and federal partners come together with a shared mission, we’re able to make a real impact for the people of Jackson County.”
The Sheriff’s Office said the investigation remains active as authorities continue to target larger networks distributing illegal narcotics in the region.
