Officials Seized 17 Pounds of Cocaine
On Saturday, January 17, 2015, a law enforcement task force seized 17 pounds
of cocaine during a traffic stop in Rankin County. According to
WJTV News Channel 12, the incident happened at about 4:00
p.m. on Interstate 20, near mile marker 62.
Traffic Stop Turned Drug Bust
Very few details have been released, but we do know that a red Chevrolet
pickup truck was pulled over for a traffic violation, and the driver, Adrian
Rojas-Jaimes, was arrested. Apparently, the deputies suspected the vehicle had
drugs or contraband and searched the vehicle. They reportedly found 17 pounds
of cocaine, estimated to be worth about $250,000 wholesale or about $700,000
street value. Multiple agencies handled this arrest.
Cocaine and Drug Arrests in Jackson
This wasn't a small amount of cocaine. Although WJTV News Channel 12
reported that Rojas-Jaimes was charged with possession, he's likely facing
additional charges on top of that. It's not a stretch to see somebody in this
type of situation also charged with intent to distribute or additional similar
charges. This isn't a small-time misdemeanor case.
Felony Drug Charges
Any more than 0.1 grams of cocaine, and you could be facing felony charges.
This means you're looking at one year in jail, minimum. With mandatory minimums
and the War on Drugs, you could be facing an extensive amount of time behind
bars. Felony charges don't just go away either, you need to have a skilled
criminal defense attorney and skilled bail agent on your side for the best
possible outcome. If you were busted during a traffic stop, your attorney is
going to do everything possible to determine if the stop and search were
conducted legally. Getting your case thrown out needs to be your lawyer's top
priority. But first you need to be freed from incarceration.

busy, overburdened public defense attorney. He or she will not have the kind of
time or resources to devote to your freedom. If you or a loved one is facing
