Pounds of Illegal Drugs, Firearms Seized in Royal Terrace Bust

Two convicted felons are facing more felony charges after Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) Narcotics detectives uncovered several pounds of illegal drugs inside a house in the Royal Terrace area of Jacksonville.


Last month, detectives learned about illegal drug activity at a house on Paris Avenue and launched an investigation, building up evidence to obtain a search warrant. Once that warrant was issued, JSO's Narcotics detectives and SWAT team served the warrant.

The following was found during the search:

  • 14.2 grams of Fentanyl (enough to potentially kill 7,000+ people)
  • 645.2 grams of Powder Cocaine
  • 153.1 grams of Crack Cocaine
  • Nearly 30 pounds of Marijuana, plus 284.4 grams of Marijuana wax
  • 3 handguns
  • 1 assault rifle
  • $6,128 in cash
Devin Luster, 34, and Curtis Smith, 44, were arrested after the search warrant was served.
 
To report drug activity or suspicious activity, citizens are asked to call 904.630.0500 or email JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org
