Agents seized more than four pounds of fentanyl, more than 1 pound of cocaine, more than 3 pounds of PCP, $52,000 in cash, 38 firearms, a cocaine press, and a money counting machine from the residence of the man, Vincent Allen Wiley.

On Wednesday, January 29, FDLE with assistance from the Florida Highway Patrol arrested Wiley following a traffic stop. Agents served a warrant on his residence where they were able to uncover their findings.
Wiley was sent to the Duval County Jail with a bond set at approximately $1.8 million.
The investigation remains active.
