The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office just announced two big drug arrests — continuing a theme that started earlier this year in which law enforcement has been racking up some big busts with some big hauls.
On Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025, the Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force executed two search warrants in Greensboro that turned up a multi-drug cache and several weapons.
According to a press release issued on Thursday, Sept. 18, deputies searched a houses at the 1000 block of Fir Pl. and 3400 block of Park Hill Dr.
Investigators reported seizing about 17 pounds of methamphetamine, 2,800 grams of cocaine, 19 pounds of marijuana, 15 dosage units of ecstasy and three firearms.
As part of that investigation, deputies arrested Vincent Almont Ruff Jr., 33, who’s now charged with two counts of felony trafficking cocaine, two counts of felony trafficking methamphetamine, two counts of felony trafficking marijuana, felony maintaining a dwelling or vehicle for controlled substances and felony possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver controlled substances.
He’s being held in the Guilford County Detention Center in downtown Greensboro under a $1 million secured bond.
That big haul came just two days after another large seizure in a neighboring county – a bust that was aided by Guilford County’s narcotics work.
On Monday, Sept. 15, the Guilford County Narcotics Task Force – assisted by the Alamance Narcotics Enforcement Task Force – executed a search warrant at 80 Leslee Drive, Lot 8, in Graham.
That search turned up roughly 5,000 grams of cocaine and $99,995 in U.S. currency.
In that Monday case, deputies arrested Miquel Angel Herrera-Camacho, 31, (pictured above), on a charge of felony trafficking cocaine. According to the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, he’s now being held in the Alamance County Detention Center with no bond.
Guilford County Sheriff Danny Rogers announced both operations this week as part of ongoing narcotics investigations that continue to span multiple locations –and sometimes cross county lines.
The Sheriff’s Office and several other state and local agencies formed a drug task force earlier this year and there have been a whole lot of illegal drugs taken off the streets in central North Carolina in 2025.
In this latest round, the Wednesday searches involved two Greensboro addresses and a mix of meth, cocaine, marijuana and ecstasy – plus guns – while the Monday search in Graham focused on cocaine and cash.
For those keeping score on quantities, the mid-week seizures represent significant amounts by any measure. Seventeen pounds of meth translates to several thousand individual doses. Nineteen pounds of marijuana and multiple kilograms of cocaine add up fast when it comes to street value – and the three firearms alongside narcotics raise the stakes for charges and sentencing exposure.
Trafficking charges in North Carolina turn on drug weight thresholds, not just on an alleged intent to sell. That’s why you see multiple “felony trafficking” counts in the Greensboro case – one set tied to meth, another to cocaine and another to marijuana.
The “maintaining a dwelling or vehicle for controlled substances” count often appears in drug cases where officers say a home, apartment, trailer or car is being used to keep or store illegal drugs. That’s a separate felony offense.
Ruff’s $1,000,000 secured bond means release would require a bondsman or cash at that level, rather than a promise to appear.
Since Herrera-Camacho is being held without bond in Alamance County, it effectively keeps him in jail unless a court changes that status.
I hate to sound so negative, but it’s like fishing in a barrel. Y’all know I’m right. What’s more concerning, the fact that they’re getting this much amount of drugs in Guilford County tells me that somebody has dropped the ball either at local level or state but we know the prior Administration under Biden let this stuff come into the country. It flooded our country.
Speaking of drug busts, the Big Cigna has done it again. I just recd their 2026 summary of Medicare Part D Rx benefits. Rate increase of 45%. My wife now has the same premium as I, but she is much younger. Some of the co-pays are down a fraction, but………..some of my Rx have been moved to a higher tier. Now looking at 23-33% co-pay on some of this stuff. The deductible has been raised by $25. What a RACKET.
The BIG C has divested itself of the drug plan, and placed it with one of their member companies, one that I used to have, but was purchased by the BIG C years ago. The B.C. buys out their competition. Seniors are getting zapped into poverty from every angle. Our boys downtown just upped their ante for property tax, and they are gonna do it again presto quicko. You can try to hide, but THEY will find you, and drain your pockets.
Another thing. The PHONE COMPANY doesn’t answer the PHONE. That’s right, last month I displaced my credit card. Instead of sending me another, the bank sent a new one. I had to contact a few people about billing. So I phoned nuestros amigos at TMOBIL. After a while, I got someone in the Philippines who spoke English, but did not understand it. Imagine the phone connection 1/2 way around the World. After 82 minutes with both me and my wife, three phone lines, etc., we got it fixed. So we spent 164 minutes of our time to fix something that could have been handled in three minutes. You know the drill. Oh, if you want to enroll, you get them right away.
I feel the same pain. Look on the bright side…all the illegals get free health care and other free stuff. As usual, we seniors in particular, get screwed again. The CEO doesn’t seem to have an issue with your increased prices nor do County Commissioners and City Council have an issue with your increased taxes.
The guy arrested (Miquel Angel Herrera-Camacho), probably born and raised here in Guilford County. Probably abused as a child (Liberal lawyers excuse) and just trying to provide for his family. The truth be told, he came here to deliver poison to people that causes many deaths. He should be given 20 years in prison at Guantanamo Bay. All drug dealers should be dealt with harshly as they are selling slow death sentences to our community.
Congrats to the Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force for getting drugs and weapons off our streets. Hopefully the DA’S and Judges will not plea bargain but provide a long sentence to send a message.
David -Guantanamo Bay sounds like a great place for individuals that provide this poison to our citizens.
supply & demand . . . demand & supply is any of this ‘stuff’ good for some people ?
