A noteworthy incident on Interstate 4 led to the seizure of around 4 kilograms of M**A and other illicit drugs.
Deputies responded Friday night to a disabled vehicle along the westbound side of I-4 near mile marker 107. The passenger, identified as Carey Thomas Crownover, 30, of DeLand, was reportedly causing a disturbance inside the vehicle, kicking the windshield and behaving erratically.
When Deputy Graham arrived and attempted to intervene, Crownover kicked the deputy and resisted arrest before eventually being subdued and taken into custody.
Inside the vehicle, deputies discovered 1,426 grams of M**A, 1,016 grams of amphetamines, 4 grams of ketamine, and a quantity of cannabis.
A follow-up search of Crownover's residence in DeLand uncovered additional trafficking quantities of drugs, including 2,516 grams of M**A, 363 grams of co***ne, 1,000 grams of psilocybin, and 510 grams of amphetamines. Other drugs recovered included alprazolam, 2C, L*D, and more cannabis.
Detectives also seized 11 fi****ms, one of which had been reported stolen in Lake County.
