Drug trafficking charges added to Gainesville man already convicted of grand theft

BY JENNIFER CABRERA

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Terrence Kareem McDavid, Jr., 27, has been charged with possession of trafficking quantities of phenethylamines after investigators identified his fingerprints on bags of narcotics that were found during execution of a search warrant last summer in Majestic Oaks.

The search warrant was executed on June 28, 2022, and resulted in the arrest of Jessica Jean Flones, 39, who has since pled guilty to federal drug charges and is awaiting sentencing.

The search reportedly produced two silver bags containing about 1800 grams of a white rock-like substance that tested positive for synthetic cathinone (molly); the bags were processed for fingerprints, and two fingerprints were lifted. The fingerprints reportedly matched McDavid’s fingerprints.

Detectives obtained a search warrant for Flones’ cell phone and reportedly found text messages between Flones and McDavid that indicated they were romantically involved and that Flones was obtaining narcotics from McDavid. Detectives also reportedly found numerous photos of McDavid on Flones’ phone.

In one message, Flones reportedly told someone that she was not home to sell them narcotics, but McDavid would provide the drugs. In other messages, she reportedly told people that she had bought significant amounts of narcotics from McDavid, but they had a disagreement after she contacted his suppliers directly. Flones also reportedly mentioned that she was tired of buying narcotics through a middleman.

Detectives reportedly used a confidential source to purchase molly from McDavid; the source reportedly told them that McDavid is known to be a dealer of molly, cocaine, and marijuana.

McDavid was arrested in July 2022 and charged with armed robbery, false imprisonment, and extortion; he has been in jail since the arrest and was sentenced to four years in state prison on January 26 after pleading to grand theft in exchange for the other charges being dropped. He is still in the Alachua County Jail at this time.
