The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Major Case Unit and Special Investigations Unit executed a search warrant at a home on Bleau Court in Palm Coast at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, April 24. As deputies approached the door, they noticed the doormat read, “Come Back With A Warrant.” Luckily, they already had one.

During the search of the residence, detectives recovered over 2.5 grams of fentanyl and dozens of used syringes, along with other drug paraphernalia.

Four residents were secured, but no arrests have been made at this time as the investigation is continuing.

Detectives contacted the Florida Department of Children and Families regarding a child at the residence.

“This poison peddler had a doormat that said, ‘Come back with a warrant,’ so we did!” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Our detectives did a great job in following up on tips received on this residence. We still have some follow-up work to do, but for now the deadly drugs and syringes seized are off the streets.”

According to drugs.com, fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. In 2018, the DEA stated that as little as two milligrams of fentanyl would be a lethal dose for most people.

This investigation is ongoing at this time.
