According to Sheriff DeLoach, the operation started in April of this year and targeted “low-, mid- and trafficking-level drug offenders” in the county.
Additionally, the sheriff said, deputies confiscated LSD, amphetamines, four handguns, an AR-15-style pistol and about $8,400 in cash.
The operation resulted in criminal charges being field against 24 people, 16 of whom were arrested. The other eight had outstanding warrants. Of those arrested, DeLoach said, include Raymond Claudio, who was arrested for the sale of fentanyl and meth. “We believe that there may potentially be several deaths that are attributable to his sale of narcotics,” DeLoach said. “We hope to continue that investigation and bring it to closure, which may ultimately result in his arrest associated with some of those deaths.”The operation was done in conjunction with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Seventh Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office.
