FARMVILLE – One Farmville resident faces multiple charges in the wake of an operation by the Piedmont Regional Narcotics and Gang Task Force. Jamie Lester Johnson, 39, has been charged with one count of felony child endangerment, one count of felony possession with intent to distribute a Schedule I/II controlled substance and one count of felony possession with intent to distribute a Schedule III controlled substance. She is currently being held at the Piedmont Regional Jail without bond.
