The Henry County Sheriff’s Office Drug Interdiction Unit conducted a traffic stop on January 20 on Nicole Drive.
The driver of the vehicle was identified as Dylan Scott Plogger, who was found to have an outstanding drug related capias out of Franklin County, according to a release. The passenger was identified as Teyan Davon Jones.
During the stop, K9 Zajo was deployed for a free air sniff of the vehicle which allegedly resulted in a positive indication for the presence of narcotic odor. A probable cause search was conducted, and investigators located two baggies containing a white powder like substance. The substance had a combined weight of 41.8 grams and later tested positive for Fentanyl. Packaging material consistent with narcotics distribution was also located among the passenger’s belongings.
Both Plogger and Jones were taken into custody.
Plogger, 22, was charged with possession of schedule I or II drugs (Fentanyl) and probation violation (felony), from Franklin County. He is being held with no bond.
Jones, 35, also is being held with no bond on a charge of possession with the intent to distribute a Schedule I or II drug.
Investigators subsequently conducted a search warrant at 230 Nicole Drive, Martinsville. Inside a bedroom of the home, they allegedly found additional suspected Fentanyl along with scales, packaging material, and pills.
The vehicle involved, a 2005 Nissan Xterra, also was seized by law enforcement.
Fentanyl is an extremely potent synthetic opioid. As little as 2 milligrams can be fatal to most individuals. The amount seized in this case equates to approximately 21,000 potentially fatal doses.
Anyone with additional information regarding this case is encouraged to contact the Henry County Sheriff’s Office at 276 638 8751 or Crime Stoppers at 63-CRIME. Information that leads to an arrest and conviction may be eligible for a cash reward.
