CCSO, HSI team to arrest man for trafficking cocaine
GREEN COVE SPRINGS – A joint investigation by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office and Department of Homeland Security Investigations led to the July 26 arrest of a Jacksonville man after CCSO said he sold cocaine to an undercover detective.
Guillermo Garden, 31, of Jacksonville, was charged with five counts of trafficking cocaine, possession of marijuana, maintaining a dwelling or vehicle known to sell drugs and using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony.
According to the affidavit for arrest, on five occasions, the agent bought more than 656 grams – nearly a pound and-a-half – of cocaine between April 4 and May 30.
A search of Garden’s home in Jacksonville led to the recovery of a glass jar with individual bags of cocaine, multiple plastic tubs of marijuana, a drug ledger, a handgun, two magazines and miscellaneous paraphernalia. The amount of the drug recovered was redacted from the arrest report. Under Florida law, trafficking is more than four grams but less than 14 grams.
Garden’s next court appearance is Aug. 28. Until then, he will remain in the Clay County Jail with a $960,024 bond.
