Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies credited recent resident tips for two high‑profile arrests over the weekend. Between Friday evening, Nov. 6, and Monday morning, Nov. 9, deputies responded to 761 calls, made 152 traffic stops and booked nine arrests.
Fugitive arrested after gas‑station tip
A Palm Coast resident reported a woman acting oddly near a gas‑station parking lot on Kingswood Drive. Deputies found Danielle Moreau, 38, dancing erratically beside a stolen shopping cart. A records check revealed an active Sarasota County warrant for her failure to appear after a prior arrest for resisting an officer. Moreau was taken to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility and is being held without bond. She had previously been arrested in October on two counts of battery against a person over 65.
Impaired driver seized with fentanyl
Early Monday, another caller alerted deputies to a red Hyundai hatchback swerving across lanes on I‑95 before exiting onto State Road 100. The driver, Adrian Tascon Osorio, 28, of St. Augustine, showed classic signs of impairment—watery eyes, slurred speech, and loss of balance. He refused field‑sobriety tests, and deputies placed him in custody.
During a search, deputies found two small bags of powdery substance in his pocket that tested positive for fentanyl. Osorio was booked on charges of DUI, refusal to submit to DUI testing, possession of fentanyl and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is being held on a $5,500 bond. Records show a prior DUI conviction in 2025.
Sheriff emphasizes community role
Sheriff Rick Staly praised the callers, saying, “We always ask our residents that if you ‘see something, say something’ and report suspicious activity, and this is a great example of that in action.” He added that the swift response prevented further danger on the road.
The incidents highlight how vigilant neighbors and responsive law enforcement work together to protect Flagler County’s families and uphold public safety.
