A suspected multi-kilogram drug trafficking organization that brought fentanyl, cocaine and meth into Northeast Florida was disrupted when the Clay County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit got involved.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody attended a news conference held Wednesday afternoon by the Sheriff’s Office to discuss the results of “Operation Lucky 777s,” which resulted in the seizure of large quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, meth, marijuana products, cash and illegal guns.
According to the arrest reports, the drug investigation began when the Sheriff’s Office received information about the DTO exploiting the U.S. Postal Service. The reports state that Setzer and Mercado were using the Postal Service to receive kilo quantities of meth, cocaine and fentanyl from California.
Setzer and Mercado are both no strangers to narcotic investigators. In 2001, Setzer was sentenced to four years in prison after he was convicted of trafficking ecstasy and cocaine. In 1999, he was convicted of possessing more than 20 grams of marijuana. He also had other previous drug arrest charges that were dropped.
Although the Drug Enforcement Administration was not directly involved in this investigation, News4JAX has learned that the Jacksonville DEA office was contacted about the number of drugs that were involved in this case.Jacksonville police announced When last year’s fatal overdose numbers involving fentanyl are broken down to the Jacksonville area during the time period between January and June, the commission reported a total of 312 deaths. Twenty-two involved fentanyl by itself, and 290 involved fentanyl combined with other drugs.Clay County Sheriff’s Office announces arrest following overdose death
