Tuesday morning started bright and early for Sheriff Staly, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) SWAT, Putnam County Sheriff’s Office SWAT and members of FCSO’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU), with an SWAT Search Warrant operation leading to the arrest of three local habitual offenders. A search warrant was executed on 2345 Blueberry Street in Bunnell and detectives seized multiple narcotics inside the home.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU), with the assistance of the SWAT Team raided the drug house with an early morning wake-up call. During the search of the residence, detectives seized Fentanyl, Heroin, Methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Of the eight adults located inside the residence, deputies arrested 40-year-old James Donaldson, 37-year-old Cheyenne Donaldson and 28-year-old Haley Scott for multiple narcotics charges.
“I’m proud of our team for their efforts investigating this residence,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Here we have three poison peddlers well-known in the Mondex community who thought they could get away with continuing to break the law. This is a reminder to drug dealers that Flagler County is not the place to bring drug or sell drugs. We will not tolerate it and we will find you and put you behind bars where you belong. We really appreciate the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team for their assistance. This was a large property with multiple structures that had to be secured quickly for our safety.”
The Donaldson’s both have criminal history, dating back to 2011. James has previously been charged with Actual Constructive Possession of a Synthetic Cannabinoid, Carrying a Concealed Firearm, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Possession of Methamphetamine. Cheyenne has previously been charged with Contempt of Court, Violation of Probation, Failure to Appear and Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. Scott’s criminal history dates back to 2017 for Driving While License Suspended/Revoked and Possession of a Controlled Substance without Prescription.
The three subjects are being held at the Green Roof Inn. James Donaldson is facing charges of Possession of Methamphetamine and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and being held on a $3,000 bond, while Cheyenne Donaldson is facing charges of Possession of Fentanyl, Possession of Heroin, Possession of Methamphetamine and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and being held on $8,000 bond. Scott is facing charges of Possession of Methamphetamine and has been released on bond.
Additional charges are pending and the investigation is still ongoing.
