Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) deputies made 22 arrests last weekend between 6 a.m. on Friday, December 8, 2023, and 6 a.m. on Monday, December 11, 2023, and handled 734 calls for service and made 95 traffic stops.
“Holiday shopping just started and we already have tempers flaring over driving, shoplifting and a hit-and-run crash! If you want to be the Grinch during the holidays, we will take you to you home to ‘Whoville’ AKA the Green Roof Inn.”
On Saturday, deputies responded to Palm Coast Parkway SE and Florida Park Drive in reference to a hit-and-run crash. While investigating the crash, Walmart Loss Prevention contacted FCSO to report shoplifting that had occurred around the same time frame as the crash. It was later determined that the shoplifting suspect and crash suspect were the same.
Through investigative means, the suspect vehicle was located in the parking garage at European Village. While conducting a DUI investigation, the stolen items from Walmart were located inside the vehicle. The driver was identified as 46-year-old Ledrianne Emley. Furthermore, Emley was found to have been trespassed from Walmart in July of 2023.
Emley was arrested for Shoplifting (Petit Theft $100-$749), Trespass After Warning, and Driving Under the Influence. Emley is being held at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on $5,000 bond.

On Saturday night, deputies located and arrested Kalvin Cheeseborough for an active Flagler County warrant for Aggravated Battery on a Pregnant Person and Providing a False Name to Law Enforcement.
Cheeseborough was known to have an active felony warrant that was issued on October 10, 2023, as Cheeseborough had been featured on Sheriff Rick Staly’s Fugitive Friday Bingo on social media. Cheeseborough was located on Rosewood Street in the Mondex and originally provided a false name to deputies. Using RapidID, a portable fingerprint reader, deputies were able to confirm that he was Kalvin Cheeseborough.
Cheeseborough was booked into the SPHIDF and later released after posting $12,500 bond.
“Another fugitive bites the dust with our RapidID technology and good police work,” added Sheriff Staly.
On Saturday afternoon, deputies responded to the area of Town Center in Palm Coast in response to a report of a man brandishing a firearm during a road rage incident. The caller reported that a black male driver had exited his vehicle, yelled at the caller, and then reentered his vehicle before pulling next to the caller and brandishing a firearm following an altercation while driving. When the driver, later identified as 59-year-old Dudley Buchanan, brandished the firearm, there were 3 people in the caller’s vehicle.
Through investigative means, Buchanan’s vehicle was located in the same area of the incident and a traffic stop was conducted. A black SAR 9mm was located in the vehicle. Buchanan was placed under arrest for three counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. Buchanan was transported to the SPHIDF after posting $9,000 bond.
“Once again, another driver is letting their anger get the best of them and brandishing a firearm during road rage,” said Sheriff Staly. “If you can’t drive without your temper flaring, then don’t drive because you will end up in the Green Roof Inn!”
