On Monday, September 20, 2021, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) responded to a call about a suspicious person and vehicle and arrested the suspect, Jason Pack (DOB: 1/15/1988) for construction theft, burglary, and illegal narcotics.
The victim reported that he was driving into his gated community when a suspicious truck trailed behind him to get through the gate. The victim got behind the truck to write down his license plate number, and then the victim drove to his house to collect his phone to call dispatch.
Upon going to the victim’s new residence, which was under construction, he saw the same suspect in the garage and his truck parked in the driveway. The victim was already on the phone with FCSO dispatch reporting the suspicious vehicle and person. The victim asked Pack what he was doing in his garage and Pack stated that he worked for the window and door company and was checking on them. When the victim asked Pack what company he was with, he provided the wrong answer to the victim.
Upon arrival, deputies found Pack getting into his truck to leave. Deputies questioned Pack and he stated he was visiting a friend who lived nearby. Inside the truck Pack was driving, in plain sight was: a DeWalt circular saw, Estwing blue hammer, Stanley Fatmax 30-foot tape measure, one piece of plywood, and two boxes of Cultura Spring Pebble tile. Pack did not have receipts for any of these items. The victim told deputies the tiles that were located in Pack’s truck were the tiles being used in his house under construction.
While conducting the investigation it was determined that Pack had also burglarized a second home that was under construction. During a search of Pack’s vehicle, deputies located a crystal-like substance that weighed 2.82 Grams. The substance was field tested and came back positive Methamphetamine.
With all the construction occurring in Palm Coast and Flagler County reported larcenies from construction sites have seen an increase in 2021. FCSO reminds construction workers to always secure their tools when they leave a jobsite. Guardianship policing helped quickly solve this case and apprehend the suspect and is a good reminder to everyone to always be observant and report suspicious people and vehicles to the Sheriff’s Office by calling 386-313-4911 for a Deputy Sheriff to respond and investigate. Working together we can prevent and solve crime.
Pack has a history of theft. In October 2020, he was arrested for Shoplifting in Flagler County.
“In 2017 we implemented guardianship policing where residents partner with the Sheriff’s Office to help protect their community,” said Sheriff Staly. “This is a great example of how it works. You ‘see something suspicious, you say something’ by calling the Sheriff’s Office and deputies respond to investigate. In this case, it resulted in the arrest of a burglar who had entered homes under construction and stole construction materials and tools, and was found to be in possession of methamphetamine. Great job by our observant citizen and our responding deputies.”
Jason Pack was arrested and transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Center. He was arrested for Possession of Methamphetamine, two counts of Burglary of an Unoccupied Structure Unarmed, and Grand Theft from a Construction Site. He is being held on a $6,000 bond.
