Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies recovered 625 grams of marijuana while serving a narcotics-related search warrant in Bunnell.
The FCSO's Special Investigations Unit and SWAT team served the warrant on April 9 to a home at 7 Third Court in Bunnell and arrested resident Kyle Ellis, 27, in the process, a FCSO press release said. Ellis has been charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of hashish with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.
During the search, deputies also found 199 TCH cartridges, each with 2 grams of TCH oil, $9,470 in cash, multiple scales and packing materials and a firearm.
The home was on a "High-Interest Target" list after the FCSO received a tip from a member of the community, the press release said. The search warrant was obtained following an undercover operation.
While arresting Ellis, a second man - later determined to be Ellis' cousin, Glenn Fletcher, 38 - ignored orders from deputies to stop and ran onto the property to yell at Ellis. Fletcher was arrested and charged with obstruction, the press release said.
Both Ellis and Fletcher were taken to the Flagler County jail, where they were later released on bond - Ellis on a $13,000 and Fletcher on a $500 bond.
Anyone with information on suspected narcotics activity or drug dealers in Flagler County are encouraged to contact FCSO by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-888-277-TIPS (8477), emailing TIPS@flaglersheriff.com, or submitting a tip through the FCSO website or app, the press release said.
