On 01/13/21 the Levy County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division and Drug Task Force received information on the possible location of a stolen UTV in Bronson. The information provided led Detectives to 10151 NE 48th Lane. Detectives determined this is the home of Tye Pierce.
Arriving Detectives saw a UTV parked in the yard. This UTV had clearly been altered in appearance by painting it, taking a brush guard off and cutting the roll cage down by several inches. Detectives confirmed the UTV was in-fact reported as stolen. Detectives then attempted to contact the occupants of the residence, without success.
Donna Boyd who Detectives knew was on probation for possession of controlled substance was detained in the yard when Detectives arrived. Boyd told Detectives that there were multiple people inside the residence and they were likely hiding and refusing to come outside.
Detectives then conducted a security sweep of the inside of the home based on a reasonable suspicion that evidence in the home could be destroyed. There they found multiple people hiding. These individuals were detained.
Detectives applied for and were granted a search warrant. The search warrant was executed and Detectives found a stolen motorcycle inside the living room of the residence. As the search of the home and property was being conducted multiple people arrived to the property that was being searched. Their arrival onto the property made them subject to search. These arriving individuals were found to be in violation of Florida laws and they too were detained. At the conclusion of the investigation the following people were arrested and a stolen motorcycle, stolen UTV, firearms, drugs and ammunition was seized/recovered:
