Major Drug Trafficker Arrested, JCSO Says
JOHNSTON COUNTY – A suspect described by authorities as a “major drug trafficker” in Johnston County has been arrested. Jorge Eduardo Martinez-Napoles was arrested Friday, Jan. 25 at an address on Morehead Drive, off Dupree Road, in the Willow Spring community.

Way to go, JCSO!
Repeat offender (felon committing more felonies) needs to be locked up FOREVER!
LOL…he’ll be back out in 3 years.
3 days…..democrat judge.
Really!??
Who elected him?
Or are you just running off about something you have no idea about?
A: looney leftists elected him.
History shows how lenient leftist activist judges are. If we are lucky he will get a judge who actually believes in law, consequence and punishment. Three things democrats don’t believe in. They believe in chaos, excuses and rewards.
Fantastic work Johnston SO!!!
Glad you all are safe! 💙🖤
