Distribution
Jacksonville, the region's primary drug market, and Ocala, a secondary
market, serve as distribution centers for many drug markets throughout
Florida. Additionally, low-level wholesale and retail distributors often
travel to these cities to acquire drugs for distribution in their home
communities. DTOs, criminal groups, independent dealers, and gangs of
various nationalities and ethnicities distribute illicit drugs at the
wholesale and retail levels in the North Florida HIDTA region. A listing
of these distributors is provided in Table 3.
