The Flagler County Sheriff's Office and the Volusia County Sheriff's Office have partnered to apprehend six Flagler County fugitives this month.
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office received information Sept. 25 that two Flagler County fugitives, 39-year-old Margaret Tillman and 38-year-old Matthew Tagliaboski, were staying at the Days Inn in Ormond Beach near Destination Daytona.
The FCSO and the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office and conducted surveillance of the hotel. With the assistance of VCSO, Tillman and Tagliaboski were taken into custody and arrested.
A search of the hotel room found 13.8 grams of methamphetamine.
This makes six total fugitives that VCSO has assisted FCSO with taking into custody this month alone.
“I want to thank the VCSO for their assistance in getting more fugitives and drugs off the streets,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “These two are career criminals who have been given chance after chance to turn their lives around but would rather keep breaking the law and peddling their poison on our streets and in neighboring counties. I hope this is another example to criminals that if you break the law in Flagler, you cannot avoid arrest by skipping town. We will find you, and you will go to jail.”
Tillman and Tagliaboski are both repeat offenders in Flagler County.
Tillman’s criminal history includes Resisting Arrest, Grand Theft, Burglary of a Dwelling, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Dealing in Stolen Property, and Possession of Methamphetamine and Possession of Buprenorphine.
Tagliaboksi’s criminal history includes Retail Theft, Possession of Counterfeit Money, Resisting Arrest and Possession of a Controlled Substance.
“Our deputies are always ready to assist our partners in Flagler, and we know they’re standing by to do the same for us,” Sheriff Mike Chitwood said. “If you’ve got a warrant and you cross the county line, all you’re getting is a ride in a different patrol car.”
Tagliaboski and Tillman were taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail. Tagliaboski is charged with Violation of Probation for Possession of a Controlled Substance, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Violation of Pre-Trial Conditions and is being held on $11,000 bond.
Tillman is charged with Violation of Probation for Possession of Cannabis, Use or Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Sell and Violation of Pre-Trial Release and is being held on a $10,000 bond.
