BREAKING - BRANDON MAN ARRESTED W/ MASSIVE CASHE OF FENTANYL, METH, WEED & WEAPONS

A breakthrough in the fight against fentanyl occurred Monday, July 14 after a coordinated investigation between Rankin County Deputies, Madison Police Department Investigators, and Agents with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics (MBN) resulted in the arrest of a metro-area drug dealer and the seizure of a massive cache of illegal drugs and weapons.

During a traffic stop in Rankin County, officers discovered over 122 dosage units of fentanyl pills in the possession of William Daniel Rogers, 42, of Brandon. Based on evidence gathered, investigators obtained a search warrant for Rogers’ residence located at 853 Willow Grande Circle in the Castlewoods community.

The search of Rogers’ home uncovered a staggering collection of illegal drugs, including:
3.6 pounds of marijuana

47 pounds of psilocybin mushrooms

152 M30 fentanyl pills

50 OxyContin pills

20 Xanax bars

2 grams of cocaine

28 grams of heroin

2 grams of fentanyl powder

1 gram of methamphetamine

1 pound of THC “honey oil”

10 ounces of THC wax

100,000 mg of THC vapes

1 pound of THC gummies

10 ounces of THC “Jello shots”

Additionally, law enforcement seized 19 firearms and 4 unregistered/homemade weapon suppressors

Rogers was arrested and transported to the Rankin County Jail, where he was booked on an initial charge of Drug Trafficking. His bond was set at $100,000, and authorities say additional charges are pending.

He will appear before Rankin County Court Judge David Morrow for an initial appearance, according to the Rankin County District Attorney’s Office.

“Our goal is that cooperative investigations like this will result in a decline in the availability of fentanyl-based drugs, which in turn will lower overdose deaths in the metro area,” the Sheriff’s Office stated.

This investigation marks another example of how multi-agency collaboration continues to be a powerful tool in addressing the fentanyl crisis and removing dangerous substances—and weapons—from Mississippi communities.
