Vicksburg Drug Bust Uncovers a Major Trafficking Operation

In a significant drug trafficking case, Vicksburg police have arrested a local man, revealing a substantial stash of various narcotics and a large sum of cash. The arrest of Kelvin Lashay Jones, a 47-year-old Vicksburg resident, on October 8, 2025, has shed light on a potential drug distribution network in the area.

The investigation began with a suspicious package seized from a mail distribution center, leading narcotics officers to obtain a search warrant for a residence on Buena Vista Drive. The subsequent search operation yielded a startling array of controlled substances, including over 1,200 Xanax tablets, 162 Adderall pills, cocaine, psilocybin mushrooms, and THC oil. The discovery of such a diverse and substantial drug collection suggests a sophisticated operation catering to various illicit drug demands.

The Vicksburg Municipal Court charged Jones with multiple drug-related offenses, including trafficking Adderall, possessing psilocybin, and possessing Xanax with intent to distribute. The court also charged him with the illegal possession of cocaine and the unlawful possession of a firearm, a 40-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun. The $700,000 bond set by the court underscores the severity of the alleged crimes.

This case highlights the ongoing battle against drug trafficking in Vicksburg and the broader region. The substantial quantity and variety of drugs seized indicate a well-organized distribution network, raising concerns about the potential impact on public health and safety. As the investigation unfolds, law enforcement will likely focus on identifying the source of these drugs and any potential links to larger criminal networks, aiming to disrupt the supply chain and bring those responsible to justice.
