Members of the Southeast Alaska Cities Against Drugs (SEACAD) task force have made two arrests and a significant narcotics seizure following a narcotics trafficking investigation in Juneau.

On Sept. 30, the task force executed a search warrant on a residence in the 1900 block of Davis Avenue as part of an ongoing investigation that began in August after investigators identified the location as a source of narcotics distribution within the community.

During the execution of the warrant, investigators arrested 34-year-old Michael Courtney Wilbon of Arizona and 35-year-old Quavone Cortanas Jenkins of Michigan.

A search of the residence resulted in the seizure of multiple suspected controlled substances, including: approximately 410.25 grams of fentanyl powder; approximately 187.82 grams of fentanyl pills; approximately 331 grams of black tar heroin; approximately 38.72 grams of oxycodone and other controlled pills; approximately 1.15 grams of methylenedioxy methamphetamine (MDMA); representing a total estimated street value of $275,500 in seized narcotics.

Three 9 mm handguns and $68,719 in U.S. currency were also seized in the search.

Wilbon and Cortanas were both arrested and lodged at the Lemon Creek Correctional Center on multiple charges, including four counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance in the second degree, a Class A felony, three counts of misconduct involving a weapon, a Class C felony, and tampering with physical evidence, a Class C felony.

“The SEACAD Task Force remains committed to disrupting the trafficking and distribution of illegal narcotics throughout Southeast Alaska,” SEACAD stated. “This investigation highlights the continued cooperation between local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies working together to protect our communities from the harmful impacts of illegal drugs.”

SEACAD is a regional task force comprised of municipal police departments throughout the Southeast Alaska Region, including the Juneau Police Department.
