Daniel Coletti says the activity around his house is from caregivers for his disabled roommates.
At all different hours of the day, cars come and go from the home at 4B Farraday Lane, where two pit bull attacks have occurred this year. Accusations followed.
“It escalated into drugs and being accused of making out with a prostitute in the back,” said renter Daniel Coletti. “I can step out of my driveway, and I’m automatically assumed a drug addict or a drug dealer.”
Coletti, 37, has lived at 4B Farraday Lane for about two years. His two roommates, including Patrick Morin, whose dog attacked and killed a neighbor’s dog earlier this month, are disabled.
The traffic at the home is not illegal drug activity, and it’s not prostitution, Coletti said. More often than not, those cars belong to various caregivers who are stopping by the house to check up on Coletti’s roommates.
Because his roommates are disabled, Coletti said he has to adhere to strict rules, get fingerprinted, and abstain from having alcohol in the house, which is subject to monthly visits by state agencies.
Bob Rollins has been a case manager for Morin, one of the roommates, for the past three months. Rollins also said the allegations are false.
“I go there — sometimes I go unannounced — and I don’t see signs of drug activity or prostitution,” Rollins said Tuesday.
Rollins, who is funded through Medicaid, said Morin has the right to live in the neighborhood just like anybody else.
But neighbor Jerzy Misztal disagrees.
Misztal, in a Tuesday interview outside his home, said if a person’s disability prevents him from safely handling and owning a dog, he shouldn’t be allowed to live in the neighborhood.
Coletti said he feels bad for what Morin’s pit bull did. He said he has unsuccessfully tried to apologize for the incident.
Because Coletti’s physical appearance doesn’t fit in with most of the neighborhood, Coletti said he is being stereotyped.
“I don’t exactly have facial hair like everybody else, I don’t dress like everybody in the neighborhood,” Coletti said Monday outside his home.
In the time Coletti has lived at the F-section home, he has hardly communicated with his neighbors.
“They don’t even know who I am,” he said. “I’ve never even shaken hands with anybody (in my neighborhood).”
Carolyn McLaughlin also lives on Farraday Lane. In July, she and her rat terrier were attacked by a rust-colored pit bull she believes belongs to the 4B Farraday Lane home. Coletti denies ownership of that dog.
Coletti does acknowledge that Morin’s pit bull, Gucci, did kill the dog belonging to 11-year-old neighbor Enzo Castillo. Gucci has been euthanized, but Coletti said accusations of other dogs at the home are false, too.
In fact, the only animal living at the home right now, Coletti said, is his Himalayan cat, Jinxy.
But McLaughlin and Misztal still believe there is illegal activity taking place. McLaughlin said another neighbor saw syringes.
Coletti, who is a diabetic, said accusations of syringes being in the yard are false. He said he took a class when he was diagnosed on how to properly dispose of his insulin needles.
Misztal doesn’t believe the Sheriff’s Office is doing enough to investigate. “You report everything to try to make the place safe,” he said. “Police don’t care.”
Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts said last week that the Sheriff’s Office hasn’t found any evidence of illegal activity taking place at the home.
Coletti said he and his roommates aren’t going anywhere. They won’t be bullied into moving, he said.
But the pit bull attacks have been enough to make McLaughlin feel bullied, as well. She said Castillo is still traumatized from the attack on his Yorkie.
“Enzo is still sobbing in his sleep,” McLaughlin said.
