Officers from the Quincy Police Department, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Florida Department of Corrections probation service and the Florida Highway Patrol executed simultaneous search warrants at two Quincy addresses on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026.[1] The operation targeted drug trafficking in Quincy and grew out of an investigation opened in the summer of 2026 into quality-of-life concerns and high-crime areas of the city.[1]

Police said they had established probable cause to arrest two men, Kirby Wimes and Travis Lanier, for distributing cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana.[1] The cannabis allegation against Wimes is possession of cannabis with intent to sell, listed alongside cocaine trafficking, cocaine possession near a place of worship and near a childcare facility, and probation violation.[1] Lanier was not at either address when the warrants were served, and his listed allegations involve cocaine and ammunition, not cannabis.[1] Police did not confirm whether either man had been taken into custody.[1]

Police did not disclose the quantities of any drugs or evidence seized in the searches.[1] Chief Brian Alexander called the raids “a great example of the cooperation law enforcement agencies are forging in the effort to reduce crime and keep the City of Quincy safe.”[1]
