A Daytona Beach criminal wanted in Flagler County was arrested in Daytona Beach on Nov. 19.

Michael Underwood, 37, was wanted in Flagler County on multiple charges of cocaine possession, tampering with physical evidence and possession of drug paraphernalia. Underwood has an extensive criminal history, including 67 criminal charges, including 25 felony arrests, and 10 convictions, a Flagler County Sheriff's Office press release said.

Underwood's previous charges range from narcotics-related offenses and reckless driving to aggravated assault and home invasion.

The FCSO's Problem Area Crime Enforcement team worked to find Underwood's location and contacted the Daytona Beach Police Department when he was tracked to Daytona Beach. The DBPD’s Violent Crime Apprehension Team arrested Underwood for his outstanding Flagler County warrant and took him to the Volusia County jail, where he is being held without bond, the press release said.

“If you have an active warrant in Flagler County, you can’t hide. We’ll find you no matter where you are,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “Thanks to teamwork between our agencies, this career criminal is off the street and back in jail where he belongs.”
