SPRING HILL, FL – The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office Vice and Narcotics Unit was notified of a possible narcotics dealer who was selling large amounts of fentanyl within Hernando County. According to authorities, a subsequent investigation revealed that 49 year-old Jacob Spinoza was residing on Patricia Place in Spring Hill, and was the individual suspected of dealing in the narcotics.

According to detectives, an undercover operation commenced that resulted in numerous narcotics purchases made from the residence on Patricia Place.

Probable cause was developed for a search warrant at the residence on Patricia Place. The search warrant was executed on October 7, 2022 where a search of the residence recovered approximately 1.2 pounds of fentanyl with a street value of about $50,000, approximately 2.5 grams of methamphetamine, approximately 130.9 grams of marijuana, three firearms with ammunition, 34 Suboxone strips, drug paraphernalia including digital scales and baggies for packaging narcotics, as well as $2,610.00 in cash.

According to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) website, 1 kilogram of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people. Based on this estimate, the fentanyl seized during this search warrant had the potential to provide a lethal dose to over 200,000 people.
