Two alleged narcotics distribution operations were raided Thursday, resulting in the confiscation of cocaine, fentanyl, and marijuana, along with firearms and cash.
Sheriff W.A. “Bill” Rogers said in a oppress release that Daheem Kevin Durante and Cazia Treion Jones were arrested after an extensive investigation into the “Southside Boys” and the “130 Crew.”
The first raid on Thursday (April 4) hit a home at 99 Mount Moriah Church Road. Durante, an ”older black male” and a “white female” were arrested. The other two individuals were not named in the release.
