The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigation Unit and the Special Problems Unit conducted a long-term investigation that paid off yesterday morning when both firearms and drugs were seized.

In recent days, the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigation Unit and the Special Problems Unit were investigating drugs being purchased at a residence on Dorothy Lane. The suspect was identified as Cody Jackson, 35, of Stafford.

On August 30th at approximately 8:28 a.m. deputies and detectives from both units executed a search warrant on Dorothy Lane. The suspect was taken into custody without incident. As a result of the search warrant, detectives uncovered multiple suspected controlled substances, drug distribution materials, as well as, three firearms. Suspected cocaine and fentanyl were seized and Jackson was transported to Rappahannock Regional Jail.

Jackson was charged with possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute, as well as, possession of a firearm while distributing controlled substances. He was held without bond. Additional charges are pending.

Great work to every detective and deputy involved in the investigation for helping remove these dangerous items off of Stafford’s streets.
