A yearlong investigation into the sale of illegal drugs in Charlotte County has ended in the arrest of a 26-year old man. Police arrested John Taylor Andrews Thursday afternoon. According to the Sheriff’s Office, the investigation started in December 2016 after narcotics detectives viewed videos of John Andrews using illegal drugs on several of his social media accounts. Utilizing confidential informants and undercover detectives, several purchases of illegal drugs were made from Andrews over the course of the investigation. Drugs included cocaine, Oxycodone pills, Vicodin Pills, marijuana, cannabis oil, and cannabis resin.
The drugs from the various purchases were then sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Laboratory for testing prior to developing some of the charges. Throughout the investigation, Andrews utilized several residences in Charlotte County and stayed in Miami for an extended period. John Andrews was located yesterday and charged with a long list of drug crimes.
