A Florida drug dealer was sentenced to 10 years and five months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine, 40 grams or more of fentanyl, cocaine, and promethazine with codeine, as well as three counts of distribution of controlled substances.

Ja’Vion RaShard Jackson, 23, Coleman, pleaded guilty on August 14, 2023.

According to court documents, beginning in November of 2022 and on a few dates after, Jackson sold an undercover officer more than 500 grams of methamphetamine, approximately 52 grams of fentanyl, and bottles of promethazine with codeine in addition to cocaine and methorphan.

On January 12, 2023, agents executed search warrants at two locations associated with Jackson. At one location (261 CR 222, Oxford, Florida), agents located quantities of marijuana, MDMA, and prescription pills.

On the same date, Jackson was arrested at 715 Oakdale Avenue in Brooksville.

Agents served a search warrant on that residence and arrested another co-conspirator after locating methamphetamine, fentanyl, promethazine with codeine, and firearms inside a vehicle.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office.
