In a significant operation targeting illicit drug distribution, the Fredericksburg Police Department’s Special Equipment Tactical Team executed a search warrant on Tuesday, February 13, at 6:30 a.m., at an apartment located in the 600 block of Greenbrier Court, in the Colonial Village at Greenbrier Apartment Homes. The operation resulted in the confiscation of over 800 pressed fentanyl pills, along with approximately 300 grams of marijuana, over $10,000 in cash, and various drug paraphernalia, police said.

The primary suspect, identified as Jaquan Mincy, 24, a resident of Fredericksburg, was apprehended at the scene. Mincy faces charges including possession, manufacture, or distribution of a weapon of terrorism containing fentanyl, and possession with the intent to distribute marijuana. He is currently being held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.
