VIRGINIA — The Henry County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday that a Collinsville man has been arrested following a narcotics investigation and the execution of a search warrant.
According to the sheriff’s office, members of the Drug Intervention Unit conducted a search warrant Wednesday at a residence in the 400 block of Ridge Road as part of an ongoing investigation into the distribution of illegal narcotics.
During the search, investigators encountered Jamie Foley, 38, of Collinsville, who was taken into custody. Foley has been charged with possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, both violations of Virginia Code Section 18.2-248. Officials said additional charges are forthcoming.
Investigators reported locating and seizing several items consistent with narcotics distribution during the execution of the warrant. Authorities said the evidence included quantities of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and suspected heroin, along with packaging materials and digital scales commonly used in the distribution of illegal narcotics. A large quantity of assorted pills, Suboxone strips, and $1,989 in U.S. currency were also recovered.
According to investigators, Foley was out on two separate bonds from another locality on prior drug-related charges at the time of his arrest, making this his third arrest associated with alleged narcotics activity.
Officials also said Foley was wanted in Florida for a probation violation related to an underlying charge of possession of dangerous drugs.
Foley was transported to the Henry County Adult Detention Center, where he is being held without bond.
“Our investigators and deputies continue to work aggressively to combat illegal narcotics in our community. Individuals who repeatedly choose to distribute dangerous drugs in Henry County should expect to be held accountable for their actions,” Sheriff Wayne Davis said.
