TENNESSEE — Narcotics detectives this afternoon seized 3.5 pounds of heroin, valued at $250,000, and destined for the streets of Nashville.
A several month joint investigation with the TBI into heroin distribution led to today’s execution of a search warrant at a Brick Church Pike motel. Inside were Jamie Sebastian Adams, 31, and a 16-year-old girl, both from Columbus, Ohio.
The two are alleged to have trafficked the Mexican heroin from Ohio with the intent of passing it on to street dealers. Adams, who is of Honduran descent, is charged with possession of heroin for resale and is jailed in lieu of $250,000 bond.
The 16-year-old is charged with a felony heroin offense at Juvenile Court and is now in detention.
The MNPD’s Specialized Investigations Division continues to make heroin interdiction a priority due to the significant potential for overdose deaths and other health issues.
