UPDATE: 

A Summit County man was charged in federal court with possession with intent to distribute drugs after he was arrested with more than 24 pounds of cocaine, law enforcement officials said.

Jerry J. Davis, Jr. 35, of New Franklin, was pulled over for speeding on Nov. 1 in Akron. He crashed after attempting to flee police. Davis then ran and jumped off the bridge at East Miller Avenue and Broadway Street, but was arrested near where he jumped from the bridge, according to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court.

Officers searched Davis’ vehicle and found 11 kilograms of cocaine. They also found a loaded Glock .40-caliber pistol with an extended magazine, according to the complaint.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Howell following an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Akron Police Department and the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

--

11.2 kilos of cocaine, roughly a million dollars worth, now off the streets after a single suspect was arrested.

He was seen leaving a business area at Kenmore and 16th street, an area known for drug activity.

He fled in his SUV, crashed near Lake and Old Main St., and then ran. THEN, he jumped 30 feet from an overpass.

He suffered minor injuries. Police say he also had a loaded glock.

Akron Police Chief James Nice says this wasn't a Drug Task Force, but a specialized group targeting this specific area of high drug activity.

Nice says this specific group was made up of a sergeant and six or seven officers; and with the amount of drug activity in Akron and the area of Kenmore and 16th, the sacrifices to regular patrol were well worth it.
