The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office has formed a new “Guilford County Narcotics Task Force” along with other area law enforcement agencies and plans to reveal details of the new entity: Guilford County Sheriff Danny Rogers and Greensboro Police Chief John Thompson will hold a news conference on Monday, June 2, to discuss the Narcotics Task Force, which was created to combat illegal drug activity in the community.
The Task Force consists of the Sheriff’s Office, the Greensboro Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the NC State Bureau of Investigation. There has already been a great deal of cooperation among area agencies to fight drugs and now that is being solidified into an official task force to fight the sale and distribution of cocaine, opioids and other illegal drugs.
At the Monday press conference, Rogers and Thompson are expected to introduce the mission, structure and goals of the Narcotics Task Force.
The Sheriff’s Office has a long-standing relationship with other area law enforcement agencies through its task force that fights drunk driving.
Thanks to the authorities working together, there have been several huge drug busts in the county this year. They’ve pulled in a lot of firearms and other weapons as well.
In the first half of 2025, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office and the Greensboro Police Department working alongside one another – sometimes with other law enforcement agencies as well – have had several huge busts and taken millions of dollars of cocaine off the market.
Back in January, a giant amount of cocaine was seized by the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, working with the Greensboro Police Department, the Eden Police Department, the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office, the State Bureau of Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Administration, made a gigantic bust that netted 161 kilograms of cocaine that reached $16.1 million in value, deputies said. That’s an astonishing 355 pounds of cocaine.
The Sheriff’s Office didn’t announce that bust until months later so the department may have been trying to work quietly on dismantling a large area drug network and attempting to round up other alleged dealers.
One big bust was announced on Thursday, March 6. Deputies with the Sheriff’s Office VICE/Narcotics Unit, in collaboration with the Greensboro Police Department, conducted a narcotics investigation that led to the arrest of 39-year-old Quentin Bowers. During that investigation, Bowers was found to be in possession of over 12,000 grams of cocaine, two firearms and a large amount of cash.
According to the authorities, the estimated street value of the seized cocaine in that bust was about $1.2 million.
Bowers was charged with:
- Two counts of Felony Level 3 Trafficking in Cocaine
- Felony Maintaining a Dwelling/Vehicle for Controlled Substance
- Felony Possession with the Intent to Manufacture, Sell, or Distribute Cocaine
- Felony Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon
That arrest came right on the heels of another big cocaine bust.
On Friday, Feb. 28, Sheriff’s Office deputies executed a search warrant for a narcotics violation in Stokesdale. In that bust, they arrested 35-year-old Chase Stephens, a Stokesdale resident, who was said to be in possession of 80 grams of crack cocaine and 18 grams of regular cocaine. He also allegedly had a superstore of many other types of drugs from synthetic mushrooms to crystal meth to weed.
Earlier in February, the Greensboro Police Department and the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office had made another big-time cocaine arrest of a middle-aged man speeding along I-40 who was allegedly in possession of about $1.25 million worth of cocaine.
That accused man was said to be driving at over 100 miles per hour, smoking weed, with blocks of cocaine sitting in plain sight on the back seat. He was on a stretch of I-40 East in a Florida-registered SUV. According to a complaint filed in federal court after that arrest, a Guilford County Sheriff’s deputy pulled the man near the Mount Hope Church Road exit where the speed limit is 55 miles per hour.

And in other news, WGHP (the most biased Leftist TV station) this morning showed a video of the terrorist who attacked a Jewish rally in Colorado. The man looked like a white American, and WGHP did nothing to dissuade you from that impression, and inform you that he was an illegal muslim immigrant from North Africa named Mohamed Soliman.
WGHP didn’t even tell us his name… for obvious reasons.
And that is how they mislead without actually lying. All. The. Time.
The fact that Rogers seems to be enthralled with wearing a cowboy hat, maybe it’s time he looked in the mirror to see how much of a nitwit he is as our sheriff.
Amen Joe. Did you hear his Press conference? He can’t even talk sensibly by reading his notes. He reversed words and mumbled. He is a terrible representative of Guilford County. Thats why the Sheriff’s office is so short, nobody wants to work for him and if he gets mad at someone he fires them. He overworks the other employees to compensate for the shortages. Its time for a change and I hope the voters of Guilford County will vote in William “Billy” Queen as Sheriff in the next election. I have read about him and I think he would fix the Sheriff’s office.
makes me wonder what ‘good/service’ our economy is based on & how economists assess this underground movement of $$. the hidden impact of chemical recreation/ self medic ?
