The Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement task force arrested two men Monday, charging them with drug distribution.

JADE officers conducted a “buy/bust” operation in the 2400 block of Fontaine Avenue in Charlottesville and seized about 115 grams of crack cocaine, 70 grams of powder cocaine and $1,500, according to Sgt. Joe Hatter. He said the cocaine had a potential street value of $30,000.

Officers arrested Tremain Versale Turner, 29, of Dillwyn, and Maurice Renaldo Lewis, 26, of Madison County. Each man faces a felony charge of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.

Hatter said the investigation continues and that more arrests and charges could be forthcoming.
