Special Response Team and Narcotics investigators served a search warrant after a weeks-long investigation and arrested three people as well as seizing drugs and guns.  Investigators arrested and charged Jaquez McCraney (32), Desmond Williams (29), and Efosa Willis (25) with several charges relating to the investigation.  Police seized drugs, guns, and cash from the search.

For several weeks, VICE/Narcotics Investigators, working on information, were investigating an illegal drug operation in the area of the 900 block of Sixth Avenue in Dothan.  Investigators found that people involved were selling drugs including mushrooms, cocaine and marijuana.  Since the investigation revealed the suspects were commonly in possession of firearms during the sale of narcotics, the Special Response Team (SRT) was used in the operation.

On May 17, 2024, the Special Response Team, along with the VICE/Narcotics Division investigators, executed a search warrant on the residence.  During the search, investigators seized 1 ½ pounds of marijuana, 5.7 ounces of Psilocybin mushrooms, 3 grams of cocaine, 8 Adderall pills, and 2 MDMA (Ecstasy) pills.  Investigators also found 3 firearms, which included an AK-47 rifle.  A money counter along with $3,400 in US Currency was also found.  The following people were arrested following the search:

Jaquez McCraney (32) of Dothan- Possession of Marijuana 1st degree and Four counts of Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance.
Desmond Williams (29) of Dothan- Possession of Marijuana 1st degree and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
