🚨FLAGLER COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER ARRESTED IN INVESTIGATION INTO MISUSE OF CITY CREDIT CARD🚨

FLAGLER COUNTY, FLORIDA- The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office arrested a 36-year-old woman employed as an animal control officer for the City of Palm Coast following an investigation into the alleged unauthorized use of a city-issued credit card to pay personal veterinary expenses.

According to investigators, the investigation began on October 15 after employees at East Coast Animal Hospital notified city administrators that Chelsie Willis of Fort McCoy had allegedly used her city-issued credit card on September 18 to pay a veterinary bill for her personal dog, Layla.

Detectives with the Sheriff’s Office General Assignment Unit launched a criminal investigation and determined that Willis had visited the veterinary clinic on September 18 for an appointment involving her dog. While at the facility, she reportedly paid expenses charged to the City of Palm Coast’s account before using the same city-issued credit card to cover charges associated with her personal account.

Witnesses told investigators that Willis returned to the clinic on October 6 and requested that her dog’s account be removed from her personal account and transferred to the City of Palm Coast’s account. The request was denied, and she was reportedly informed that the change would violate company policy and constitute falsification of records.

Following the request, witnesses immediately notified city administrators, who contacted the Sheriff’s Office. Records obtained from East Coast Animal Hospital and the City of Palm Coast confirmed an unauthorized charge totaling $386.64, according to investigators.

On October 16, detectives arrested Willis on a charge of fraudulent use of a credit card involving an amount greater than $100.

Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly described the incident as a series of poor decisions that allegedly escalated into an attempted cover-up. He emphasized that public service is a privilege and not an opportunity for personal financial gain.

Staly also stated that the arrest serves as a reminder that authorities will investigate fraud and the misuse of public funds. He commended East Coast Animal Hospital employees for promptly reporting their concerns and assisting investigators.

Palm Coast Deputy City Manager Jim Macfarlane said the city takes the misuse of public funds seriously and acted immediately after learning of the potential misconduct. He confirmed that city officials cooperated with the Sheriff’s Office throughout the investigation to ensure appropriate action was taken.

Macfarlane added that the alleged conduct was disappointing and did not reflect the integrity and accountability expected of city employees. He also expressed appreciation for the Sheriff’s Office’s partnership in resolving the matter.

Following her arrest, Willis was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where she was being held on a $2,500 bond.

🚨DRIVER ARRESTED AFTER DANGEROUS PURSUIT INVOLVING DONUTS, EVASIVE MANEUVERS AND PIT MANEUVER🚨

ST LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA- A 37-year-old Port St. Lucie man was arrested after allegedly fleeing from a deputy during a traffic stop attempt, performing dangerous maneuvers on the roadway, and leading law enforcement on a pursuit through St. Lucie County.

According to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office, the incident began in the 9600 block of South Ocean Boulevard when a Patrol Operations deputy attempted to stop a pickup truck for a traffic violation.

Instead of stopping, the driver allegedly made a U-turn and performed donuts in the roadway, forcing approaching motorists to take evasive action to avoid a collision.

After briefly stopping, the driver reportedly made another U-turn, cut across traffic lanes, and accelerated toward the deputy’s patrol vehicle before fleeing northbound.

The Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit, known as AIR 2, tracked the truck from above and provided information to deputies on the ground as the pursuit continued.

Near Binney Drive, deputies successfully deployed stop sticks, deflating the truck’s tires. However, the driver continued fleeing through the Seaway Drive roundabout before traveling eastbound on Seaway Drive.

Detectives with the agency’s Special Investigations Unit later joined the operation and executed a precision immobilization technique (PIT) maneuver, bringing the truck to a stop.

Authorities said the driver refused repeated verbal commands to exit the vehicle, prompting deputies to deploy pepper balls inside the truck. The driver eventually exited and was taken into custody without further incident.

The suspect was identified as 37-year-old Joshua Gallagher of Port St. Lucie.

Gallagher faces the following charges:

* Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon

* Possession of a controlled substance without a prescription

* Resisting arrest without violence

Gallagher remains incarcerated at the St. Lucie County Jail.

The Sheriff’s Office credited the coordinated efforts of deputies, aviation personnel, and detectives with bringing the incident to an end and preventing further danger to the public.

🚨TWO ARRESTED AFTER DEPUTIES DISCOVER SCRAP ALUMINUM TAKEN FROM LOCAL BUSINESS🚨

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FLORIDA- Two people were arrested on October 15 after Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies allegedly found them transporting scrap aluminum taken from a local business.

At approximately 11:53 p.m., deputies with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office were proactively patrolling a business when they discovered Victoria McQueen, 28, and David Hajipour, 40, behind the building.

According to authorities, the pair’s vehicle was loaded with scrap aluminum allegedly taken from the business’s storage bins.

A search of the vehicle reportedly uncovered methamphetamine residue, drug paraphernalia, and a loaded syringe.

McQueen and Hajipour were both arrested and are facing multiple charges in connection with the incident.

🚨17-YEAR-OLD SENTENCED TO 55 YEARS IN PRISON FOR MURDER OF 14-YEAR-OLD🚨

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FLORIDA- Jahmir Moore has been sentenced to 55 years in prison after a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting death of 14-year-old Jevario Buie.

Moore was just 15 years old when he shot Buie and left him to die on railroad tracks near Busch Boulevard in Tampa. Years later, Buie’s family gathered in court to remember the teenager whose life was cut short by gun violence.

During the sentencing hearing, Buie’s mother shared memories of her son’s goofy smile and fun-loving personality. She recalled how he would often ask her to watch him perform wheelies on his bicycle. His grandfather also remembered Buie’s playful competitive spirit, including his attempts to race him despite never managing to outrun his grandfather.

Following Buie’s murder, his family spent months waiting for answers as Tampa Police detectives investigated the case, worked to identify the person responsible, and pursued an arrest.

Although the sentence cannot bring Buie back or restore the years his family lost, the outcome marks a significant step toward accountability in the case.

Buie’s loved ones are left to cherish their memories of the young teenager and the future he never had the opportunity to experience.

🚨NO BOND FOR MAN ACCUSED OF BRUTAL BEATING OUTSIDE NIGHTCLUB🚨

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FLORIDA- Jaquone Penny remains in custody without bond after allegedly beating a man unconscious outside a nightclub in an attack that continued after the victim was knocked down.

Video shared on Instagram reportedly shows several additional men joining the assault, punching and kicking the victim as he lay on the ground. The victim survived but sustained a broken rib and multiple facial fractures.

Penny has been charged with aggravated battery with great bodily harm. The other men allegedly involved in the attack have also been arrested.

Assistant State Attorney Justin Diaz successfully argued that Penny should remain behind bars, citing concerns that he poses a danger to the community if released.

An arraignment date has not yet been scheduled.
