Levy County Deputy Ryan Sullivan stopped a vehicle in
Bronson at approximately 4 AM on November 19, 2018 for an equipment violation.
Deputy Sullivan discovered the driver, Vincent I. Williams (10-1-91) of
Gainesville, was driving with a suspended driver’s license and had a warrant
for his arrest issued from Alachua County.
Williams was taken into custody.
Deputy Sullivan then spoke to the passenger Devonte T.
Foster (6-22-96) of Gainesville. Foster did not have a valid license either.
The vehicle was not registered to either Williams or Foster and was towed until
the owner could claim the vehicle.
Deputy Sullivan conducted an inventory of the vehicle prior
to it being towed. During the inventory he located cocaine and oxycodone in the
center console and a bag in the back seat that contained credit cards, other
valuables and personal identification belonging to a person from Gainesville.
Deputy Sullivan then took Foster into custody and searched him. Foster had
drugs, heroin and marijuana and $530.00 dollars in counterfeit bills hidden in
his jacket pocket.
The Alachua County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) was contacted and
told of the personal identification located during the traffic stop. ACSO told
Deputy Sullivan the person whose identification he found had recently reported
his vehicle was been broken into and the items he described were in-fact
reported stolen.
Both Williams and Foster were arrested and booked in to the
Levy County Detention Facility. Williams was charged with possession of
cocaine, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and DWLSR.
His bond was set at $60,000.00. Foster was charged with possession of cocaine,
possession of heroin, possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled
substance without a prescription and possession of counterfeit bills. His bond
was set at $110,000.00.
This investigation is still on-going and additional charges
are expected to be filed by ACSO.
