Due to the hard work and lengthy investigation performed by detectives of the Special Investigations Unit, additional fentanyl and two drug dealers are off of Stafford’s streets.

Recently, detectives were investigating Justin Cauley, 34, of Clinton Maryland, and Jessica Bigler, 37, of Stafford, for their involvement into the distribution of fentanyl in the Warrenton Road area. Bigler was also wanted out of Stafford County for possession of controlled substances and prisoner in possession of controlled substances. On July 9th at approximately 7:10 p.m. detectives observed a vehicle of interest connected to them traveling on Warrenton Road. With the help of Sergeant B.U. Demirci and Deputy I.E. Baldi, a traffic stop was conducted in the area of Banks Ford Parkway.

The passenger was identified as Bigler and the driver was identified as Cauley. When Bigler was informed of her wanted status, she became noncompliant. It would soon be discovered why, for a pouch was located on her person filled with blue pills with an “M30” symbol on them, an indication of fentanyl. During a search of the vehicle, additional suspected controlled substances and indications of drug distribution were located.

Both Bigler and Cauley were charged with two counts of possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute, selling controlled substances for profit, and the distribution of fentanyl under the Terrorism Act. Bigler was additionally served on her outstanding warrants. Both were held without bond at Rappahannock Regional Jail.

Once again, amazing work to the detectives in our Special Investigations Unit. Their investigations are a key component to combat the narcotics issue in the area.
