On June 24, 2025, the Dothan Police Department Narcotics Division with the assistance of the Special Response Team executed a search warrant at a residence in the 700 block of West Newton Street. This search warrant was granted due to an ongoing investigation into those possessing, distributing, and selling dangerous, illegal narcotics on the streets of the City of Dothan. During the search, investigators seized approximately 17 grams of Fentanyl laced pills, 22 grams of cocaine, 53 grams of methamphetamine and MDMA (Ecstasy), 1 ounce of marijuana, 1.5 ounces of an unknown substance, and various other items used for the distribution, abuse, and sale of narcotics. Investigators also seized three firearms, a stolen vehicle, and about $1,000 cash. One of the firearms was also reported stolen.
Javon Antonio James (33) of Dothan was arrested and charged with Trafficking in Fentanyl, Trafficking in Methamphetamine, Unlawful Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance, Possession of Marijuana 1st degree, and Receiving Stolen Property 2nd degree (firearm). More charges are possible for James. All narcotics will be analyzed by the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences.
This seizure further demonstrates the Dothan Police Department’s commitment to getting these dangerous drugs off our streets. Those who are selling, possessing, or distributing these dangerous drugs will be held accountable to the fullest extent allowed by law.
