In the early morning hours of Sept. 23, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies were patrolling the area near the Hampton Inn, located at 150 Flagler Drive in Palm Coast, when a male was observed sleeping in a vehicle. Deputies noticed the driver’s side door open, and the subject was sleeping behind the wheel.
Deputies made contact with the subject and noted several knives within an arm’s reach, along with two cell phones and a sealed bag on the floorboard next to his feet. The subject was woken up and questioned, and he advised he was visiting people at the hotel and that the sealed bag contained marijuana. He exited the vehicle, and a search was conducted resulting in a pipe with white residue found in one pocket. While asking him to take his hands out of his other pocket he refused to comply and tried to flee.
During the struggle to detain the subject, he threw baggies into the bushes. He was then taken into custody by using a Taser. Deputies searched the grass and bushes area and four small bags of a crystalline powder substance were found.
The subject advised he was previously a member of “criminal organizations” in Texas and Georgia. He’s previously been arrested in other states for Larceny, Distribution of Cocaine, Burglary, Forgery, Robbery, False Imprisonment, Violation of Probation, Theft by Deception, Entering Automobile with Intent to Commit Theft, and Possession of Methamphetamine.
Perry was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility without further incident. He was arrested for Resisting Officer Without Violence, Possession of Fentanyl, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of a Schedule II Substance, Tampering with or Fabricating Physical Evidence, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He’s being held on a $7,500 bond.
