Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies executed a search warrant Tuesday on a Palm Coast home that had been identified for housing a drug manufacturing and distribution operation, according to a Sheriff’s Office press release.

The arrest took place at the home at 14 Biscay Lane.

Cornelius Ramon Johnson, 23, of South Chapel Street, in Bunnell, was arrested and charged with possession of crack cocaine and sale of crack cocaine. There will be future charges for the manufacture of crack cocaine.

Terence Jermaine Bennett, 31, of East Booe Street, in Bunnell, was arrested and charged with possession of crack cocaine, possession of cannabis and the possession of drug paraphernalia.

There is a third suspect still at large who the Narcotics Unit has identified and is currently seeking an arrest warrant for.

Prior to executing the search warrant, the Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Enforcement Team developed information in reference to the manufacture of crack cocaine and the distribution of crack cocaine from the residence.

During the four-month investigation, the Sheriff’s Office identified the cocaine distributors at the residence and obtained enough evidence to obtain the warrant.

The search resulted in the seizure of approximately one ounce of crack cocaine — $3,745.00 in United States currency — and several items used in the process of manufacturing crack cocaine. The evidence obtained in the search confirmed the residence was being used to manufacture crack.
