The search warrant was obtained after a month-long investigation into the illegal distribution of crack cocaine. The investigation revealed that Johnson, who is on felony probation, sold crack cocaine to a confidential source.
During the search warrant, Johnson attempted to flush approximately 9.9 grams of cocaine and 3.1 grams of marijuana down a toilet, deputies said. More than $11,700 in cash was also recovered from the home.
"Just last month, our SIU detectives apprehended a convicted felon from a nearby residence on Pilgrim Drive and now they have taken an individual to jail who is on felony probation," said Sheriff James L. Manfre. "Our Special Investigations Unit is second to none."
Two juveniles were in the home at the time of the search warrant, but no injuries were reported. Johnson was transported to the Flagler County Detention Facility where he is being held without bond.
