Lenny's Pizza owner Leonard Fries Jr. was rearrested on six additional drug charges on Friday, Aug. 22, the Flagler County Sheriff's Office reported.

Fries, who has two locations of his pizza restaurant in Ormond Beach, was originally arrested in May after detectives seized cocaine and almost a kilogram of marijuana at his home on Winchester Road in the Ormond Beach area of Flagler County. Detectives also seized seven firearms, three vehicles and over $5,000 in cash during the raid.

FCSO Special Investigations Unit detectives, who were working with the State Attorney's Office, obtained two arrest warrants on Aug. 22 "based on the results of controlled narcotics purchases that occurred during the five-month investigation preceding the search warrant and Fries’ original arrest in May," a press release stated. The charges were held pending the results of lab tests.

Fries, 50, faces new charges of trafficking in cocaine (28 grams to 200 grams), two counts of sale of cocaine, and three counts of unlawful use of a two-way communications device. He was later released on a $95,000 bond. 

FCSO reports he currently 13 total charges, 11 of which are felonies.
