2 Millville men among 5 arrested in federal drug trafficking case
Two Millville men were among five defendants detained in a federal case tied to meth, fentanyl and cocaine moving through Cumberland County.
Two Millville men were among five people federal authorities detained after a wiretap case that prosecutors say exposed a drug-trafficking network moving methamphetamine, fentanyl and cocaine through southern New Jersey and Philadelphia.
The defendants, Andrew Davis, 47, Clifford Brown, 52, Damion Jones, 44, of Millville, James McBride, 53, of Marlton, and Jule Stubbs, 51, of Millville, were charged with conspiracy to distribute the drugs and appeared in federal court in Camden. Prosecutors said all five were detained. The case carries a maximum penalty of life in prison and a fine of up to $10 million.
For Cumberland County, the case lands close to home. The criminal complaint names Cumberland County as part of the alleged conspiracy area, and federal authorities say the conduct stretched from at least August 2025 through May 2026. The complaint also says the group operated across state and national borders, with Davis identified by the aliases “Flip Mogella” and “Floss King,” and both Davis and Brown identified as Jamaican citizens. Davis lives in East Nottingham Township, Pennsylvania, while Brown lives in Philadelphia.
Officials said the investigation was not a quick street-level arrest. The case grew out of a long-term wiretap investigation by DEA’s Atlantic County HIDTA Task Force and the New Jersey State Police’s Gangs and Organized Crime South Unit, along with controlled purchases, surveillance and search warrants. Investigators also said the organization used packages sent to addresses it controlled in South Jersey and the Philadelphia area to move drugs, a method that widened the reach of the alleged operation beyond one neighborhood or one county.
The seizures tied to the case were substantial: more than 38 pounds of suspected methamphetamine, more than 7.5 kilograms of suspected cocaine and nearly 1 kilogram of suspected fentanyl or a fentanyl analogue. That volume points to a supply chain with the potential to drive overdoses and deepen the fentanyl threat across Cumberland County and the broader South Jersey corridor.
U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer said the case targeted a transnational network that was “flooding” communities with dangerous narcotics. DEA New Jersey Field Division Special Agent in Charge Towanda R. Thorne-James said the seizures represented “lives potentially saved” and said law enforcement will keep using every investigative tool available against networks like this one. The arrests were announced as a Homeland Security Task Force operation in the District of New Jersey, with the initial court proceedings handled in Camden.
