PALM COAST, Fla. — Imagine this: you’re a crook, you get a doormat boldly proclaiming, “Come back with a warrant,” and you think, “Challenge accepted.”
Well, according to their Facebook page; Florida’s Flagler County Sheriff’s Office didn’t just come back—they came back in force, shutting down two drug houses in two days.
That’s right: the early bird not only catches the worm, it serves it a shiny piece of paper signed by a judge!
House #1: The Fentanyl Flushdown
In the pre-dawn hours of July 1, Sheriff Rick Staly’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) and SWAT stormed 21-A Rosecroft Lane.
Inside lurked Ryan McArthur, 37, a Volusia County fugitive with an active warrant for fentanyl trafficking.
McArthur tried his best to hide his stash—and himself—by channeling his inner plumber, “actively trying to destroy narcotics by flushing them down the toilet,” the FCSO release notes.
Deputies peered through a bathroom window, caught him mid-flush, and carefully inserted their own warrant into the pipe of justice.
SWAT breached, and McArthur finally surrendered.
The haul: Fentanyl, various paraphernalia, seven cell phones (because why have one burner when you can have seven?), and $2,840 in cash.
He’s now cozied up at the Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, held without bond, presumably surrounded by similarly flush-obsessed fans.
House #2: Meth Mansion
By July 2, Sheriff Staly’s crack team swaggered over to 45 Bruning Lane, where Eric Lamb, 38, was busily hiding on the patio behind the house—because nothing says “easy suspect” like lounging in full view.
Inside, detectives discovered methamphetamine and paraphernalia tainted with cocaine residue, turning Lamb’s place into a chemical cocktail party.
They also learned he was violating probation from previous Flagler and Volusia County busts.
Lamb joined McArthur behind bars, no bond necessary.
The Doormat Challenge
During the sweep, deputies couldn’t help noticing a cheeky doormat declaring, “Come back with a warrant.” Sheriff Staly couldn’t resist:
“They asked us to come back with a warrant, so we did.”
For clarity’s sake, the Sheriff added his signature flourish: “If you’re a drug dealer in Flagler County, I suggest you get the hell out…because we’re coming for you next.”
Consider that more eviction notice than welcome mat.
Two Mornings, Two Takedowns
“They say the early bird catches the worm…well, our SIU and SWAT team had two early mornings in a row, because the early bird catches the drug dealer, too!” Staly beamed.
That’s right: while most of us hit snooze, these deputies are hitting doors—preferably with warrants.
Ongoing Investigation
This bust-buddy drama isn’t over. Detectives promise more search warrants and additional charges as they dismantle this local drug trafficking ring.
Who needs Netflix when you have real-life early-morning SWAT action?
Moral of the Story
If your doormat doubles as a taunt, expect the cavalry—in this case, fully armored deputies—to show up.
And if you’re plotting fentanyl flushes or "meth-methinks' attempts, remember: you might just end up starring in Sheriff Staly’s next Facebook post.
