3 arrests made, 30 guns and drugs seized from Eastside homes after JSO investigation

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Thirty firearms and illegal drugs are off Jacksonville’s Eastside streets following a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office investigation.

Detectives had been investigating two homes in the Longbranch area after the department received drug complaints.

Detectives obtained search warrants for both locations, and on Wednesday, the warrants were served.

Between the two houses, detectives recovered 26 rifles and four handguns — totaling 30 firearms — along with methamphetamine, Xanax and marijuana.

The operation also led to three arrests for men JSO said had ties to gang activity:

• Justice Johnson, 28
• Jaquan Wims, 29
• Leamon Jackson, 47

JSO also pointed out that the homes were located just blocks from an elementary school.
