In a significant crackdown, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced that Operation Red Light has successfully targeted the 1200/Out East gang, leading to multiple arrests and the confiscation of firearms and narcotics.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — After several months of investigation, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office’s Gang Unit has concluded an operation that resulted in numerous arrests as well as the seizure of various drugs and nearly 24 firearms.

According to the sheriff’s office, Operation Red Light culminated in November 2025, when search warrants were executed at multiple residences.

The operation led to the arrest of four individuals, with investigators zeroing in on a gang identified as one of approximately 30 active street gangs in Jacksonville, based on 2024 data from the sheriff’s office.

The individuals arrested include Anthony Williams, 27, Dasaun Williams, 23, Eibe Scott, 23, and Torrance Brooks, 24, who collectively face 48 charges. Most charges are directed at Anthony and Dasaun Williams, primarily related to alleged drug transactions with undercover officers conducted over several months.

Here’s what JSO says was seized in the operation:

  • 152.4 grams of fentanyl (equal to around 76,000+ lethal doses)
  • 1,222.1 grams of promethazine
  • 226 grams of methamphetamine
  • 115.4 grams of cocaine
  • 420.7 grams of marijuana
  • 22 guns
  • $1,190 in cash
  • Three vehicles

“This investigation took teamwork,” JSO said in a Facebook post. “Our Gang Investigations Unit worked alongside our Narcotics Unit, Crime Gun Intelligence Unit, Technical Support Unit. Computer Forensics Unit, SWAT Team, Community Problem Response Unit, and our District Task Forces. The FBI and the Clay County Sheriff’s Office assisted our teams. Gang members have no place in our city. If you’re committing crimes and violence in our community, know our Gang Investigations Unit will put a stop to it.”
