Two drug dealing gang members off the streets!
St Lucie County, Fl (treasurecoast.com)- Two documented 10th Street gang members are behind bars today after a three-month-long joint investigation between the FBI, DEA, U.S. Marshals, Indian River Sheriff’s Office, Martin County Sheriff’s Office, Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office and St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office.
Derron Nathaniel Johnson, 25, and Edward Houston Clark, 30, both from Fort Pierce, were arrested Friday afternoon on felony warrants for cocaine trafficking and sales, possession of drug paraphernalia, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. Johnson was also arrested for selling and trafficking Fentanyl, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and driving with a suspended license.
Sheriff Ken Mascara said, “Both individuals arrested are well-known to law enforcement and our community. It is imperative that we continue to work together to remove criminals like these from our streets.”
“We are committed to ridding our community of this poison, Fentanyl, which has not only destroyed individual lives and families in our community but communities across our nation. Trafficking in Fentanyl is a 25-year mandatory minimum sentence. I now hope and pray they get the time they deserve in prison so they never victimize our community with this poison again.”
This investigation led to the seizure of 15.2 oz. of cocaine, 118 grams of a cocaine/MDPV mixture, and 2.7 lbs. of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and cash.
Both Johnson and Clark were booked into the St. Lucie County Jail. Johnson is being held on a $187,750 bond. Clark is being held on a $414,250 bond.
