A state prison escapee is no longer on the run thanks to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. During an unrelated investigation, FCSO deputies learned the whereabouts of a 27-year-old woman who had escaped from a state correctional facility on Dec. 8, 2021.
“Fugitives who try to hide in Flagler County will be found, arrested and brought to justice."
— RICK STALY, Flagler County sheriff
Deputies took her into custody shortly after 9 p.m. Feb. 8.
Deputies caught her at a Black Hawk Place residence and transported her to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on the fugitive charge of escape. She had been on the run for 62 days.
Flagler County judge had sentenced her to 18 months in state prison on May 10, 2021, on charges that included selling drugs within a 1,000 feet of a school.
But, on Dec. 8, 2021, the Palm Coast native escaped from Bradenton Bridge Female Community Release Center in Bradenton.
“Fugitives who try to hide in Flagler County will be found, arrested and brought to justice,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said. “We’ve busted this poison peddler before and we are glad to have her back at the Green Roof Inn as she awaits more time in state prison for escape and her original charges.”
Over the past 30 months, before being sentenced to state prison, she has been arrested on 18 different charges in Flagler County, including parole violation, driving without a license and various drug-related charges.
