100 grams of fentanyl seized, two arrested in Chautauqua Co. raid
(WJET/WFXP)– Two Chautauqua County residents are facing a fresh set of criminal charges after police said they found more than 100 grams of fentanyl during a raid at their home Friday morning.
That raid happened around 6:26 a.m. in the 500 block of West 6th Street in Jamestown, New York, at the home of 41-year-old Jermeek Johnson and 30-year-old Danielle Barber, both of Jamestown.

After members of the SWAT team, Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office and the United States Marshall's Service started their search, they allegedly found 101.1 grams of fentanyl, 2.9 grams of methamphetamine, Alprazolam pills, digital scales, $1,633 in cash and other cutting agents.
Police said Johnson also tried to hide an unspecified amount of fentanyl and meth while police were searching but was eventually found and both were taken into custody.
Johnson already had a warrant out of Chautauqua County Court for possessing a large quantity of fentanyl and a loaded handgun after a search warrant was executed at his home in March 2024, while Barber had an outstanding bench warrant from Jamestown City Court.
