The Frederick High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) group executed search and seizure warrants in the 1000 block of Monroe Avenue in Frederick and on a vehicle in Hagerstown on Monday night, leading to a massive bust and multiple arrests.
Those charged:
- Jayden Isaiah Stephon, 20, of Hagerstown;
- Christion Sayyid Gill, 26, of Hagerstown;
- Jamil Nicholas Gardner, 31, of Baltimore.
According to the Frederick Police Department, the warrants were obtained “following an extensive long-term investigation into the distribution of controlled dangerous substances (CDS) throughout the region to include both Frederick and Washington counties.”
During the execution of the warrants, investigators seized:
- Canik TP9SFX 9mm handgun;

- $50,150 in cash.
“The quantities seized in this investigation highlight a severe threat to public health and safety,” a police spokesperson said. “The amount of fentanyl recovered could have led to hundreds of potentially lethal doses, illustrating the dangerous impact of this investigation’s suspects.
