An undercover investigation resulted in the arrest of five people after a search warrant was served on a house in Palm Coast.
The Flagler County Sheriff's Office's SWAT and Special Investigations Unit served a narcotics-related search warrant to a house on Rivera Lane on Jan. 19. During the search, detectives seized around 40 grams of synthetic cathinones — more commonly known as molly — and various drug paraphernalia from the residence during the search, according to a press release from FCSO.
The arrests come just a day after FCSO served an order to vacate on a house in North Daytona, Sheriff Rick Staly said.
“My message to poison peddlers in Flagler County is get out now or we will find you and send you to the Green Roof Inn – or out of your house forever. I commend our team for another great job closing down a drug house,” Staly said.
Four of the five people were charged in the arrests, the press release said; the fifth person was not charged at the time and was later released. Charges ranged from drug possession to possession of drug paraphernalia, the press release said.
Three of the four arrested were released on bond shortly after their arrests while one — who faces a felony drug trafficking charge and a misdemeanor drug paraphernalia charge — is still in jail.
The investigation is still ongoing.
