BRADENTON, Fla. — A convicted felon was arrested after a large amount of marijuana, crack cocaine and fentanyl were found in his home.

Bradenton Police said they arrested Johnie Jones Jr., 48, on multiple felony charges of possession with intent to sell and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.

BPD said they executed a search warrant at Jones' home and found 760 grams of marijuana, 55 grams of crack cocaine and 12 grams of fentanyl.

Jones is being held in the Manatee County Jail without bond.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
