On Oct. 19, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop at the intersection of State Road 100 and I-95 on an SUV whose registered owner had a nationwide warrant out of Missouri for violation of probation, forgery and theft. 

During a search of the vehicle, deputies located a hat on the rear passenger floorboard containing two glass pipes and a small green container filled with crack cocaine.

“Here are two career criminals who’ve made names for themselves throughout our country but made the mistake of coming to Flagler County,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “They’ve been hiding and fleeing from facing justice for three years after being charged for dozens of crimes. I’m proud of our deputies who were able to locate and identify these fugitives before they could prey on our community and end their run from the law.”

Both suspects were transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility and were held on no bond, awaiting extradition.
