A fentanyl distribution investigation in Caroline led to the arrest of two women, and one of them is facing terror charges.
Caroline Sheriff’s Office reported that its narcotics investigators were conducting an investigation that led to a search warrant for 7414 Rylands Rd. in Woodford.
On Thursday, February 8, the Special Emergency Response Team along with deputies and narcotics investigators executed that warrant. CCSO reported that paraphernalia and “items associated with the packaging and distribution of fentanyl” were seized.
The search warrant led to the arrest of 57-year-old Cynthia Ann Woods of Woodford. She is charged with one count of distribution of Schedule I or II drugs. She was granted a $2,500 bond, and jail records for Pamunkey Regional Jail no longer list her as an inmate.
Woods beat two drug charges last year. On February 2, 2023, she was found not guilty in a jury trial court records show.
She was also hit with a drug possession charge in Fairfax for an offense in October 2023. Court records show last month, that case was certified to the grand jury pushing it to Fairfax Circuit Court.
The other woman, 21-year-old Ayreana Michelle Heflin, also of Woodford, was charged with four counts of distribution of Schedule I/II and three counts of distribution of fentanyl as a terrorist weapon.
Heflin was initially being held without bond n Pamunkey Regional Jail, CCSO reported. But she is no longer listed as an inmate.
In addition to the recent drug charges, court records show Heflin is currently facing two petit larceny charges in Caroline and a shoplifting charge in Fredericksburg.
