Kansas City Man Indicted for Fentanyl and Cocaine Trafficking

A Kansas City man has been indicted for his alleged involvement in a fentanyl and cocaine trafficking operation.

Jacob Davis, 53, was indicted by a federal grand jury for possession with intent to distribute cocaine, cocaine base, and fentanyl.

The indictment alleges that on March 12, 2025, Davis possessed cocaine and cocaine base with intent to distribute, and on July 8, 2025, Davis possessed over 400 grams of fentanyl with intent to distribute.

All three charges stem from search warrants conducted on Davis’s residence in Kansas City, Missouri.

On July 8, 2025, law enforcement served an arrest warrant for the March offenses. While arresting Davis, they observed additional indications of drug trafficking and obtained a subsequent search warrant.

Investigators located approximately 3 kilograms of powder fentanyl along with two pill presses, scales, and a money counter.

The charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Heather Siegele. It was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration with assistance from Kansas City Missouri Police Department, Independence Police Department, and Belton Police Department.
