Massive drug bust in Jacksonville neighborhood uncovers enough fentanyl to kill 90,000
A major drug bust in the Mixon Town neighborhood of Jacksonville has residents alarmed and authorities warning of the deadly reach of fentanyl in the community. Police said the amount of fentanyl seized in the operation was enough to kill tens of thousands of people. Action News Jax told you about the drug bust yesterday after JSO shared details via Facebook. Four suspects were arrested during the raid on Clemente Drive: John Williams (44), Lorenzo Dukes (24), Abdul Robinson (30), and Katherine Rivera (40). >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< Investigators discovered a stockpile of drugs and weapons inside a single home. Among the narcotics recovered were over 180 grams of fentanyl—equivalent to more than 90,000 potentially lethal doses—along with cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, and six firearms. The bust has shaken nearby families, many of whom say they were unaware such activity was happening so close to home. 'I didn't know anything about that,' said Jane Doe, a mother who recently moved to the neighborhood. 'I think it's a good thing. You know, I'm new to this community, so the fact that there'll be less drugs around here—that's going to make it look like people aren't all on drugs.' [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] Doe, like many other parents in the area, expressed concern for the safety of children living nearby. 'We raise a lot of children around here,' she said. 'We care about what they will be in the future and what they are around.' The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says the bust is part of a broader effort to curb drug trafficking in residential neighborhoods, particularly those involving fentanyl—a synthetic opioid driving overdose deaths across the country. Residents said they hope this latest arrest sends a clear message: drugs will not be tolerated in their community.

‘I Only Go On Sundays:' Dealership Salesman Calls Out Customers for Saying ‘I'm Just Looking' When He Approaches Them
A car salesman shared his hack for getting dealership workers to leave you alone that he says works better than saying, 'I'm just looking.' TikTok creator Laces on the Lot ( @lacesonthelot ) explains his method in a viral clip that accrued over 40,000 views on the popular social media application. The premise of his approach is rooted in a simple ideology: make a salesperson believe they'll be wasting their time attempting to secure a sale with you. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . Laces says that the best way to do that is by making them think you're financially insolvent. However, it's the specific details he provides that may trigger a feeling of unease among those who shill cars for a living. 'If you're one of those customers that come in on the lot to look at cars and not be bothered by a salesman, you totally can. But if a salesman comes up to you, instead of just saying, 'I'm just looking,' tell them you recently just filed bankruptcy and owe $20,000 dollars on a 2019 Rogue. And I promise he'll leave you right alone,' he says. Laces adds a bonus in a caption for the post for anyone thinking of using this trick the next time they're shopping for a vehicle. 'It's always the S trim level too,' he writes, likely referring to standard trim. Commenters Sound Off One person who replied to his video shared the way they like to get back at dealership workers. However, their remark didn't seem to be in the same spirit as what Laces was talking about. Trending Now 'This Happens All the Time to Customers:' Man Buys Brand-New Toyota 7 Months Ago. Now He Says the Warranty's Been Voided 'Literally the King of Darkness and Misery:' Man Spots Kia in Cracker Barrel Parking Lot. Now He Hopes to Never Meet the Driver 'I went to a dealership years ago on a rainy day. Pulled up to the new cars furthest from the building and waited,' they wrote. 'A salesman came out. As soon as he came up to my door, I took off. My kids thought that was the funniest thing. I waited til he went back inside and I came back. Did the same thing and he threw his hands in the air. It was hilarious!' they concluded. Laces replied in the comments section that this type of behavior seemed more akin to bullying than wanting to go to a dealership and browse their selection without being hassled. 'Ew. I bet you laugh at the videos of people tormenting Walmart employees too,' he said. 'Just leave the poor guy alone.' Others who replied to his video stated that their preferred time to ensure they're unbothered while car shopping was at the end of the week. 'I only go on Sundays,' one said. 'Or come on Sunday,' someone else echoed. Laces replied that this was 'a solution too.' There was another person who said they used to sell cars agreed that Laces's strategy would've certainly worked on them. 'He sure ain't wrong. I sold cars for five years and if anybody had told me that I would've done heel toe out of there quickly,' they wrote. Why People Hate Dealerships There's no shortage of horror stories about car dealerships. Auto dealer solution firm Multichannel Supply Chain Management published a blog outlining some of the biggest problems folks have with motor vehicle sales. The piece acknowledges that there are ' countless consumer complaints ' when it comes to 'auto sales and repairs.' Multichannel Supply Chain Management writes that decades of businesses reinforcing these gripes have fundamentally altered people's perceptions about buying cars. Consequently, many car shoppers are already on guard when they step foot inside a dealership. Multichannel Supply Chain Management says that a lack of transparency is one of the biggest gripes car buyers have when they visit dealerships. This, coupled with attempts at up-charging for add-ons and unnecessary services, don't exactly instill confidence in car shoppers. Many are wary of 'pushy' sales reps who doggedly attempt to get them into a car and sign on the dotted line. The firm writes that auto dealerships should be cognizant of these preconceived notions and work to allay a customer's fears. If sales reps work honestly and don't try to squeeze every penny they can out of a prospective buyer, they might feel more comfortable about making a purchase. And they may feel less compelled to lie about being bankrupt and rolling around in a Nissan Rogue they still owe a ton of money on.
