Roberts faces five felony charges: trafficking in fentanyl, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana with intent to sell/manufacture/deliver, possession of paraphernalia for the manufacture or delivery of drugs and knowingly owning or renting a structure of vehicle to be used for drug trafficking.
He is in custody at the Duval County Jail.
