On Friday, July 11th, 2014, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division concluded a multiyear investigation, which centered on individuals involved in major drug trafficking offenses.
During the investigation, the Sheriff’s Office employed the use of undercover officers, surveillance, audio and video documentation of drug transactions and confidential informants. The completion of this investigation and the arrest of individuals involved will have a substantial impact on the flow and availability of illegal substances in the county and surrounding areas. Those subjects arrested were:
• Danny Ray Jones Sr. for Multiple Narcotics Trafficking Violations
• Danny Ray Jones Jr. for Possession with Intent to Sell and Distribute Cocaine, Selling and Delivering Cocaine, and Maintaining a Dwelling for Keeping and Selling Controlled Substances
• Jamaal Antwan Scarborough for Multiple Trafficking in Cocaine
• Ethan Gray Peace for Possession of Cocaine, Possession with the intent to Manufacture, Sell, and Deliver Cocaine, and Selling and Delivering Cocaine
The Sheriff’s office is seeking federal prosecution for these individuals. Anyone with further information or questions concerning these individuals should contact the Narcotics Division at the Sheriff’s Office, 919-644-3050.
