Several Pounds of Illegal Drugs, Stolen Firearm Seized in Arlington Hills Bust
In August 2025, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) Narcotics Unit detectives served a search warrant at a house on Townsend Village Lane in Arlington Hills.
This investigation began after a Jacksonville resident reported some suspicious activity. Detectives immediately began investigating. They determined 43-year-old Benjamin Crawford was selling dangerous drugs from his vehicle and home. On Saturday, August 23, 2025, the search warrant was served and yielded the following results:
- 14.6 pounds of Cathinones, also known as Flakka
- 148 grams of Crack Cocaine
- 21.8 grams of Powder Cocaine
- 34 (and a half) Prescription Pills
- 2 grams of Marijuana

Crawford is now facing several charges stemming from this investigation.
