Mixon Town saw a major police sweep on May 27 as Jacksonville detectives hit two neighborhood homes with search warrants. The operation, targeting an alleged local distributor identified as 43-year-old Travis Shingles, known locally as "Fat Travis," ended with three men in cuffs and a haul of guns, drugs, and cash.
Investigators recovered about 298.9 grams of marijuana, roughly 23.9 grams of MDMA, 18 grams of crack cocaine, 9 grams of powder cocaine, 3 grams of oxycodone, three firearms, and $3,717 in cash, according to Tampa Free Press. The raid led to felony arrests for Shingles and two associates, 41-year-old Antrone Cummings and 68-year-old Anthony Cooley.
How the sweep unfolded
According to local reporting, detectives from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Narcotics Unit, backed by SWAT, served the warrants on May 27. The agency's public news portal, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, regularly details similar coordinated enforcement sweeps and notes the use of specialized units when serving high-risk warrants.
What comes next
In a statement about the operation, the sheriff's office urged residents to report suspected drug activity and promised more of the same kind of pressure on street-level dealing. "We won't stand for poison peddlers pushing dangerous drugs into our communities," the office said, according to Tampa Free Press. Booking and formal charging procedures will move through Duval County's system as investigators process the evidence and prosecutors review the case.
Local context
The Mixon Town sweep is the latest example of targeted enforcement in Jacksonville that aims to disrupt neighborhood-level distribution.
