May 19, 2014
Levy County Deputies responded to 10450 NE 85 Street in Bronson last night following a tip. Deputies were told the occupants of this home were possibly involved in the manufacturing of Methamphetamines.  
Deputies arrived to find Daniel Larkins 4-17-85, the home owner; Richard Sanders 4-20-89 and Ronald Kingsley 1-13-90 were preparing to “cook” up a batch of meth. Deputies observed all the precursor materials had been obtained with the exception of one ingredient. The three were waiting on this last ingredient to be delivered.  Deputies also discovered a shotgun in the residence.   
Larkins was arrested and charged with conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamines and is being held on a $25,000.00 bond. Sanders was arrested and charged with conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamines, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and tampering with a witness. He is being held on a $175,000.00 bond. Kingsley was arrested and charged with conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamines and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He is being held on a $125,000.00 bond. The fourth individual has been identified and a warrant for his arrest has been applied for with the State Attorney’s Office.  
This investigation was helped tremendously by the tip provided by a concerned citizen.  LCSO encourages the public to contact the Sheriff's Office at 352-486-5111 or Crime Stoppers at 1-877-349-8477 to report suspicious activity.
