Regional Task Force Cracks Down on Drug Distribution in Fredericksburg

On July 10, 2024, a collaborative effort by multiple law enforcement agencies resulted in the arrest of Tai’eric Lewis on several drug-related charges. The Fredericksburg Police Department, Virginia State Police, Spotsylvania Narcotics Unit, Spotsylvania Street Crimes, and the FBI Fredericksburg Regional Narcotics Task Force were all involved in this operation.

The investigation, which focused on cocaine distribution, led to the execution of search warrants at three locations: one in the City of Fredericksburg and two in Spotsylvania County. These searches uncovered approximately half a kilo of cocaine, around $17,000 in cash, and three pounds of marijuana. Additionally, a stolen firearm from the City of Fredericksburg and distribution paraphernalia were found at another address. The Fredericksburg Police Department has seized Lewis’ vehicle pending forfeiture.

Tai’eric Lewis, 28, of Fredericksburg, faces charges including distribution/sell for profit schedule I/II, distribution/PWI marijuana, and two counts of child abuse/neglect with reckless disregard for life. Additional charges are pending as the investigation continues.

“We are grateful to our regional partners for their hard work and support in this extensive investigation,” a spokesperson for the Fredericksburg Police Department stated.
