Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies made seven arrests over the weekend between 6 p.m. on Friday, January 9, 2026, and 6 a.m. on Monday, January 12, 2026. During that time, deputies handled 628 calls for service and conducted 170 traffic stops.
Among the weekend arrests was a fugitive from Georgia and two suspects accused of stealing thousands of dollars worth of firearms from a family member.
On Friday, deputies arrested Eric Aycock-Blanford, 43, of Palm Coast, on a violation of probation warrant from Bulloch County, Georgia.
Sheriff Rick Staly commented on Aycock-Blanford’s arrest history. “This guy is no stranger to the Green Roof Inn,” Staly said. “As a fugitive from justice, he has been picked up by Flagler County deputies multiple times on fugitive warrants for violating probation and criminal activity in Flagler County. Maybe this time he will straighten his life out.”
Aycock-Blanford’s previous arrests in Flagler County include possession of a controlled substance, DUI, driving while license suspended, and other drug-related charges. He was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where he is awaiting extradition to Georgia.
On Saturday evening, deputies arrested two suspects following an investigation into a burglary reported the day before. Deputies had responded to a residence in the F-Section of Palm Coast after a victim reported he believed his daughter and her boyfriend had stolen various firearms, ammunition, a bow, and a crossbow from him. The victim told deputies he noticed the items were missing while searching for something in the house and said the two suspects were the only people who would have had access to them. Deputies observed no signs of forced entry to the home.
Through their investigation, deputies determined the suspects, identified as Kelli Farrell, 42, and Timothy Nash, 47, both of Palm Coast, had recently pawned several firearms, boxes of ammunition, and the bow at Palm Coast Pawn and Jewelry.
The following day, deputies returned to the residence after the victim reported three more firearms had been stolen from a gun safe he kept in a locked room. During their investigation, deputies observed pry marks on the doorframe to the room. Deputies determined that two of the three firearms were among the items Farrell and Nash had pawned.
Later that day, deputies responded to a separate call for service and located Farrell and Nash. Detectives from the General Assignment Unit interviewed the suspects. Both Farrell and Nash admitted to taking firearms and ammunition and pawning them. However, Farrell stated she believed the items belonged to her uncle, who had recently died, and not her father. Nash stated the firearms were taken from a storage bin in the living room and denied ever accessing the gun safe.
At the conclusion of their investigation, detectives determined that both suspects had stolen and pawned firearms and ammunition belonging to the victim and had provided false ownership information to the pawn shop.
Sheriff Staly addressed the case. “This woman certainly won’t be winning ‘daughter of the year,’ nor will her boyfriend be in her dad’s good graces after they stole and pawned thousands of dollars of firearms from him,” Staly said. “Luckily, our deputies and General Assignment detectives were able to track down these missing items for the victim and arrest the two who stole them from him.”
Detectives arrested Farrell on charges of grand theft of a firearm, false verification of ownership for pawned items worth $300 or more, and dealing in stolen property.
During the investigation, detectives determined that Nash was a convicted felon with prior convictions for possession of cocaine and DWI. Detectives arrested Nash on charges of two counts of grand theft of a firearm, grand theft of items valued over $20,000 but less than $100,000, three counts of false verification of ownership for pawned items worth $300 or more, five counts of dealing in stolen property, and five counts of possession of a weapon or ammunition by a convicted felon.
Both Farrell and Nash were transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where they are being held without bond.
