PALM COAST, Florida – Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies made nine arrests over the weekend, including a Palm Coast woman wanted in Sarasota County and a St. Augustine man accused of driving impaired with fentanyl in his pocket, the agency said.
The totals cover 6 p.m. Friday, November 6, to 6 a.m. Monday, November 9. Deputies handled 761 calls for service and made 152 traffic stops during that stretch.
Suspicious Activity Call Leads to Fugitive Arrest
On Saturday afternoon, deputies responded to a report of a woman acting suspiciously near the parking lot of a gas station off Kingswood Drive in Palm Coast. Someone had seen her dancing erratically near a stolen shopping cart.
Deputies found the woman and identified her as 38-year-old Danielle Moreau of Palm Coast. They learned Sarasota County wanted her for failing to appear after a previous arrest for resisting an officer.
Deputies arrested Moreau on the active warrant. She is being held without bond at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. The Sheriff’s Office said it had arrested Moreau in October on two counts of battery on a person over 65.
“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,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “Deputies were called because a caller saw something suspicious, and it led to a fugitive getting arrested. I thank the caller for alerting us to this fugitive.”
Reckless Driving Call Ends in DUI, Fentanyl Arrest
Early Monday morning, deputies took a call about a reckless driver. The caller said a red Hyundai hatchback had been swerving on Interstate 95 and nearly hit a semitruck and several other vehicles. The driver then exited onto State Road 100 and drove well below the speed limit, the caller said.
Deputies found the car parked at a gas station on SR 100. They identified the driver as 28-year-old Adrian Tascon Osorio of St. Augustine.
Deputies said Tascon Osorio had slurred speech and watery eyes. He could not recall where his driver’s license was. Deputies later found it in his pocket.
When deputies asked him to step out of the car, he could not keep his balance, they said. He refused to take part in field sobriety exercises, and deputies took him into custody.
Before placing him in a patrol vehicle, deputies found two small bags of powdery substances in his pocket. Both tested positive for fentanyl, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies arrested Tascon Osorio on charges of DUI, refusal to submit to DUI testing, possession of fentanyl and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is being held at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on a $5,500 bond. The Sheriff’s Office said he has a previous DUI arrest and conviction from 2025.
“When you’re under the influence of drugs or alcohol, it is stupid to be behind the wheel. This guy almost hit multiple vehicles and could have killed or injured himself or others,” said Sheriff Staly. “I commend the caller for reporting this guy so we could arrest him before he started driving on the road again.”
Both people are charged only with accusations. Court records will show how the cases move forward.
