Six Flagler County residents were among nine people that have been charged and sentenced in connection to a multi-state drug trafficking operation.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office Middle District of Florida announced all nine individuals charged as a result of “Operation Ice Man” have been sentenced to prison. Each defendant was found guilty by a jury or pleaded guilty for their role in a multi-state drug trafficking conspiracy that spanned from Mexico to California, Arizona, central Florida and Flagler County, according to a Flagler County Sheriff's Office press release.
Six of the nine individuals are Flagler County residents and were arrested on a variety of drug possession charges: Zara Mascarella, 20, of Palm Coast; Camarie Shavers, 23, from Bunnell; Alfred L. Shavers, Jr., 26, from Bunnell; Jimmie Lee Bizzell, 53, from Bunnell; Tyrone Jones, 56, from Palm Coast.
In May 2023, Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly and U.S. Attorney Roger B. Hanberg announced the results of the investigation during a joint press conference.
The two-year local, state, and federal investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation - Daytona Beach Resident Agency, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, the Daytona Beach Police Department, and the DeLand Police Department, the press release said.
