Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies executed a search warrant on a home in the Hammock area of Flagler County this morning and arrested a 22-year-old Palm Coast man on charges of cultivation of marijuana, violation of probation and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to a press release.

 

Douglas Tyler was arrested at his home at 106 Hernandez Avenue around 8:20 a.m. by the Sheriff’s Office’s Special Investigations Unit assisted by the Sheriff’s SWAT team and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

 

Flagler County Sheriff Jim Manfre credits tips from local citizens to the successful outcome of the one-month investigation.

“We received several citizen tips of drug activity at this residence,” Manfre said in a statement. “We quickly responded to those tips, launched an investigation and today made this arrest. “We depend on the community to help us keep their neighborhoods safe. I encourage other residents to report suspicious activity in their neighborhoods.”

Tyler was being held in the Flagler County Inmate Facility on $6,000 bond on the drug charges and no bond on the violation of probation. Additional charges may be pending.
