Just after 11 a.m. on Thursday morning, Aug. 15, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) and Flagler County Emergency Fire Flight found wanted fugitive Justin Wilson, 36.
Wilson was wanted for commercial burglaries that occurred on July 15 at Emily’s Design Studio and Padma Yoga, both located on Utility Drive in Palm Coast.
The items stolen from Emily’s Design Studio included two laptops and various tools, totaling $2,400. The items stolen from Padma Yoga included a laptop, two Bluetooth speakers, and cash, totaling $800.
Wilson was taken into custody on Sentry Oak Place in Palm Coast for active Flagler County warrants for criminal mischief, grand theft, and burglary of an unoccupied structure.
Wilson is also wanted for eight felony warrants by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.
“Our deputies and detectives did an outstanding job working with multiple agencies to quickly identify this suspect so that he could be taken into custody,” Sheriff Rick Staly said.
On Wednesday morning, Aug. 14, the FCSO arrested 41-year-old Justin Aldrich for two active warrants: one out of Flagler County for violation of pretrial services and one out of Volusia County for order to revoke bond.
Sgt. Breckwoldt saw Aldrich’s Dodge Nitro traveling on Belle Terre Parkway at around 11:26 a.m.
Knowing Aldrich from previous incidents and knowing that he had an active warrant, Deputy Schmidt conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and placed Aldrich under arrest. The vehicle was towed from the scene.
“These serial burglars need to face the crimes they have committed and learn from their mistakes to become productive members of society,” Staly said. “Now they are in the Green Roof Inn to answer for their crimes, and then they will be extradited to Volusia to face their charges there.”
Aldrich was previously arrested on July 27 for a residential burglary on Louisiana Drive.
He fled from deputies before being apprehended at the Palm Coast Post Office.
Aldrich had also been arrested just five days prior, on July 22, in Volusia County for felony charges of burglary and grand theft.
