Two wanted fugitives, one from North Carolina and one from Maryland, have been arrested by Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies in recent days.
Flagler County deputies arrested a 32-year-old fugitive on Nov. 8 after locals reported the man for suspicious behavior.
The man, a resident of North Carolina, had a fugitive arrest warrant for threats made against the Moore County Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina in December 2021, according to an FCSO news release.
On Nov. 8, someone called the Sheriff’s Office and reported seeing a man behind the businesses in European Village, walking along the tree line and burning unknown items.
Deputies found the man standing along the wood line with a half-melted candle in his pocket. He told them he was engaging in a “black magic” ritual using the candle.
Deputies confirmed his identity and arrested him for the North Carolina warrant.
He resisted, and was also charged with resisting an officer without violence and being a fugitive from justice. He is awaiting extradition to North Carolina.
A 36-year-old man from Frederick, Maryland, was arrested by Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies on Nov. 8 for an outstanding warrant.
Deputies had noticed the man’s car parked in a travel lane of the parking lot of Wells Fargo located at 1050 Palm Coast Parkway, according to an FCSO news release.
When they spoke with the man and confirmed his identity, they discovered that he had a warrant for violation of a court order from the Anne Arundel County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland.
Deputies took him to the county jail. He will be extradited to Maryland.
