A Lorain man is in custody after police executed a search warrant that led to the seizure of large quantities of suspected fentanyl and cocaine, according to the Lorain Police Department.
The operation took place during the early afternoon hours of April 15, 2026, when members of the department’s Narcotics and Special Investigations Unit carried out a search warrant at a residence in the 1200 block of Nebraska Avenue. During the search, officers took 47-year-old Jason Vazquez, of Lorain, into custody.
Investigators say they recovered 264 grams of suspected fentanyl, 62 grams of suspected crack cocaine, and approximately 2,746 grams (2.746 kilograms) of suspected cocaine. The total estimated street value of the suspected drugs is around $185,000.
In addition to the suspected narcotics, officers seized multiple items believed to be consistent with drug manufacturing and trafficking.
Vazquez is currently being held at the Lorain County Jail without bond. He is facing multiple first-degree felony charges, including trafficking in cocaine, possession of cocaine, possession of fentanyl, and trafficking in fentanyl.
Police say the investigation began with information provided by concerned residents, which led to the execution of the search warrant.
The case remains under active investigation, and additional charges may be filed as evidence continues to be processed.
Anyone with information regarding suspected drug activity is encouraged to contact the Lorain Police Department’s Narcotics and Special Investigations Unit at 440-204-2108. Callers can remain anonymous.
