BREAKING UPDATE: When investigators arrested a 28-year-old from Jacksonville during a recent operation, they found drugs, guns, $20,000 in cash and a Glock pistol with a trigger switch, the sheriff said.
Daniel Jarrett, 28, was arrested March 21 on charges of trafficking in fentanyl, trafficking in cocaine, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a vehicle with an altered ID number.
Jarrett has previously served time in prison four times for drugs and weapons convictions and was most recently released in 2021. He said with well over 400 overdose deaths in Jacksonville last year alone, the effects of fentanyl on the community has been “devastating.”Waters praised the efforts of the investigators in Operation Trigger Switch.
“It goes in the back of the gun so it keeps the trigger from resetting after a trigger pull,” he explained. “They are prevalent out on the streets.”
