Palm Coast, FL - A Wedgewood Lane home was the location of a drug bust that landed two Flagler County adults in jail on Wednesday (August 18).

The Flagler County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) says the home was raided after an undercover operation, carried out by the FCSO Special Investigations Unit (SIU), landed investigators with a search warrant on the home.

During the search, deputies located 28-year-old Erik Zimmerman and 32-year-old Samantha Zimmerman—their relation is unknown at this time. According to a release from the sheriff's office, Erik was the initial target of the investigation.

After searching the home, deputies uncovered a multitude of narcotics that includes: fentanyl, alprazolam, oxycodone, clonazepam, prescription drugs gabapentin, and trazodone hydrochloride.

“If you are a poison peddler in Flagler County we are coming for you next,” Flagler Sheriff Staly said. “Our SIU and SWAT team did another great job and now these drug dealers have a new room at the Green Roof Inn. If you suspect drug dealing that is ruining your quality of life in your neighborhood send us a tip to: Tips@flaglersheriff.com."

Both Erik and Samantha are facing numerous narcotics possession charges, including possession of fentanyl with intent to sell, and currently remain in custody at the Flagler County Jail, both with bonds set at $15,500.

Additional charges are pending at this time, per the FCSO.
