On Tuesday, October 17, 2017 the Levy County Sheriff’s Office Uniformed Patrol Division responded to 11252 NE 62 Place, Williston to a reported disturbance between two people. Deputies arrived and their investigation discovered Danny White (37) had been fighting with another male. Deputies took White into custody and while conducting their investigation were allowed to enter the home to speak to potential witnesses. Deputies immediately observed controlled substances and drug paraphernalia in plain view when they entered the home. The deputies secured the home and contacted investigators with the LCSO Drug Task Force (DTF).

DTF investigators reported they previously were given information that this home was occupied by numerous people who were using and/or selling drugs. Investigators were compiling information for their active investigation when they were called to respond to this location by the Uniformed Patrol Division.  

DTF investigators began interviewing several of the homes’ occupants and determined a search warrant would be needed to complete their investigation. A search warrant was obtained and investigators began their search.

DTF investigators located methamphetamines, marijuana, opiates, cocaine, an unknown substance and massive amounts of hypodermic needles. Based upon these discoveries, six (6) occupants of the home were arrested. The following people were arrested and taken into custody:
