๐ŸšจIn July 2026, the Narcotics Section concluded a drug distribution investigation that led to the ex*****on of a search warrant in the 1000-block of Myrick Street. With assistance from the Fredericksburg Police Departmentโ€™s Special Equipment and Tactical Team, the search warrant was executed on July 30, 2026. When officers entered the residence, the suspect was actively engaged in the manufacture of illegal narcotics.

As a result of the investigation and subsequent search, Ernesto Courtney, 52, of Fredericksburg, was arrested and charged with the following offenses:

โ–ช Possession with Intent to Distribute Schedule I/II
โ–ช Three counts of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Violent Felon
โ–ช Possession of a Firearm While in Possession of Schedule I/II

Courtney was turned over to the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.

The Fredericksburg Police Department appreciates the continued partnership of community members who provide information regarding suspected illegal drug activity. The Department also recognizes the dedication and investigative efforts of the Narcotics Section detectives and supporting personnel who remain committed to protecting the safety and quality of life of the Fredericksburg community.
