A traffic stop in Limestone County, Alabama, on Thursday, January 29, 2026, led to the arrest of an Athens man, Jarvis Deshun Cain, and the seizure of illegal drugs, underscoring ongoing law enforcement efforts in the area.
During the stop, officers confiscated nearly a quarter pound of cocaine, a significant quantity of this illegal substance. In addition to the cocaine, approximately 7 ounces of MDMA pills were also seized. A firearm was taken from Cain during the stop, further escalating the seriousness of the situation.
As a result of these actions, Cain faces multiple charges. He is charged with two counts of drug trafficking, indicating serious allegations regarding the distribution of illegal drugs. Additionally, he faces one count of being a certain person forbidden to possess a firearm. This charge is particularly relevant, as Cain is a convicted felon. At the time of his arrest, he was out on bond for previous charges, complicating his legal situation.
Following the arrest, Cain is currently being held in the Limestone County Detention Facility. His bond has been set at $1.5 million, reflecting the severity of the charges against him and the potential risks associated with his alleged activities.
The traffic stop occurred on Huntsville-Brownsferry Road near Ripley Road. However, further details regarding the specific circumstances of the stop or the ongoing investigation have not been disclosed at this time. This incident serves as a reminder of the continuous efforts by law enforcement to combat drug trafficking in the area and to ensure community safety.
