‘See Something, Say Something’ and Rapid ID leads to Narcotics, Texas Fugitive and Two Others Arrested

By-Line: Courtney Sebastianelli, PIO FCSO

On April 28, after responding to a call from a concerned resident about a suspicious car parked at a construction site on Columbia Lane in Palm Coast, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested two Texas residents; one being a fugitive with two warrants.

Upon arrival, deputies found Michelle Molina, 28, from Dallas, Texas, and Javier Davila, 48, from Quitman, Texas, illegally parked and trespassing at the construction site.

After providing several false identities, deputies scanned Davila’s fingerprint using FCSO’s Rapid ID, which provided his real name. Deputies determined that Davila was a fugitive from Texas and was wanted for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, various drug charges, and evading arrest.

After detaining Davila as a Fugitive from Justice, deputies searched the vehicle and located Hashish and Trafficking amounts of Methamphetamine and Oxycodone. Deputies also located heroin, a Legend drug without a Prescription, a handgun, a scale, and drug paraphernalia.

Davila was arrested as a fugitive from justice, Trafficking Methamphetamine, Trafficking Oxycodone, Trespassing on a Posted Construction Site, Obstruction Without Violence, providing a False Name to Law Enforcement, Loitering and Prowling, Manufacturing/Delivering Drug Paraphernalia, and Possession of a Weapon or Ammo by Other State Felon. He was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where he is being held without bond.

Deputies also arrested Michelle Molina for possession of Hashish, Trafficking Methamphetamine, Trafficking Oxycodone, Heroin Possession, possession with Intent to Sell Legend Drug without a Prescription, Trespassing Posted Construction Site, Loitering and Prowling, and Manufacturing/Delivering Drug Paraphernalia. She was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where she is being held without bond.

During the investigation, Martha Rodriguez, 31, from Dallas, Texas, approached the scene carrying a duffle bag. Deputies later learned that Rodriguez had been traveling with Davila and Molina and had left the scene shortly before their arrival. Inside the duffle bag deputies located fentanyl and drug paraphernalia. Rodriguez was arrested for Possession of Fentanyl and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia/Equipment. She was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where she is being held on a $6,000 bond.

“Another fugitive found out he shouldn’t have come to Flagler County,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “As to his accomplices, they found out we don’t tolerate poison peddlers and that it was ladies’ night at the Green Roof Inn. If you are a fugitive or transporting illegal drugs, you better stay out of Flagler County. If you don’t, we will arrest you! I want to thank the witness who ‘saw something and said something.’ It allowed us to get these dirtbags off the street and in jail.”
