Vincent Allen Wiley, 38, was arrested following a traffic stop on Wednesday.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Jacksonville man is facing multiple felony charges after authorities seized pounds of drugs, dozens of firearms and thousands in cash during an investigation by the Tri-County Narcotics Task Force, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).

Vincent Allen Wiley, 38, was arrested following a traffic stop on Wednesday.

After serving a search warrant on Wiley’s residence, FDLE says authorities seized more than four pounds of fentanyl, one pound of cocaine, three pounds of PCP, 38 firearms, $52,000 in cash, a cocaine press and a money counting machine.

Wiley faces charges of fentanyl trafficking, unlawful use of a two-way communication device and knowingly possessing a structure for drug trafficking.

Investigators identified Wiley as a suspect who was actively trafficking fentanyl in Northeast Florida, FDLE says, and authorities were able to successfully conduct multiple drug purchase operations.

The charges are a result of an investigation by the Tri-County Narcotics Task Force, an anti-crime partnership between FDLE, the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, the Putnam Sheriff’s Office, the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, the Palatka Police Department, St. Augustine Beach Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, ATF and the Northeast Florida HIDTA initiative.

Wiley is being held at Duval County Jail on a $1.8 million bond.

The investigation is ongoing.
