Flagler County Sheriff's Office

On Thursday, Aug. 26, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office had a busy night fighting crime and tending to 84 other calls in the community. Deputies responded to five Baker Acts, two burglaries, one recovered stolen tag, and a medical call assisting Bunnell Police Department. The night resulted in a fugitive arrest, solving two burglaries and arresting the suspect, and lifesaving efforts being performed.

At approximately 2 a.m., deputies responded to a call from the Bunnell Police Department regarding an unconscious female who needed medical assistance. Deputies arrived on the scene and deployed their AED which delivered a “shock” to the patient and continued providing life-saving efforts until Flagler County Fire Rescue arrived. Unfortunately, she later died at AdventHealth Palm Coast.

“This is a great example of all the hard work our deputies perform daily and just how busy we always are,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “I’m proud of our team for handling it all and for utilizing their investigative skills to continue keeping Flagler County safe.”
