Arrests Made in Long-Term Undercover Drug Investigation
August 24, 2026
Caroline County, VA- The Caroline County Sheriff's Office announces multiple arrests resulting from a long-term undercover drug investigation. The investigation, which began in late 2025,
has included hundreds of undercover narcotics purchases, surveillance, search warrants, intelligence gathering, and assistance from local, state, and federal law enforcement partners.
When Caroline County narcotics investigators began this operation, their efforts initially
focused on street-level co***ne distribution. As investigators followed evidence, they identified a broader network of individuals believed to be involved in distributing co***ne throughout Caroline County and beyond. The investigation has been conducted in phases, allowing investigators to identify additional distributors and sources of supply before making arrests.
Thus far, investigators have executed search warrants at eight residences located in Caroline, Hanover, and Spotsylvania counties. Investigators have reported seizing nearly two kilograms of co***ne, seven fi****ms, and more than $28,000 in cash.
On July 8, 2026, a Caroline County grand jury returned indictments based on evidence obtained during the investigation. The following eighteen individuals have since been arrested or served with charges related to the distribution of co***ne:
• Arvel Owen Goodall Jr., 30, of Doswell
• Jeffry Goodall, 59, of Doswell
• Gayron Lionel Few, 43, of Doswell
• Spencer Tracy Fox, 55, of Ruther Glen

• McCartha Joseph Stevens, 32, of Bowling Green
• Carlson Bryant Folly, 56,, of Doswell
• Demetri Renee Robinson, 34, of Doswell
• Jerome Tyree Carter, 45, of Bowling Green

The charges include distribution of co***ne, possession with intent to distribute co***ne, and conspiracy to distribute co***ne. Additional arrests are expected as the investigation continues.
Sheriff Scott Moser stated, "Illegal drugs are a serious danger to our communities. They destroy lives, tear families apart, fuel other criminal activity, and place our young people at risk. We will continue working with our law enforcement partners to identify those responsible for bringing these dangerous drugs into our communities and hold them accountable."
The Caroline County Sheriff's Office extends its sincere thanks and appreciation to the following partner law enforcement agencies that assisted with this operation, the United States Marshalls Service Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, the Virginia State Police, the Town of Ashland Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Agency Richmond Field Office, the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office, the Hanover County Sheriff's Office, and the North Carolina State Highway Patrol.
