FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 What started as a taillight stop ended with a Florida man in custody and 400 pills \u2014 including fentanyl and MDMA.<\/p>\n

Deputies with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office<\/a> say they arrested 32-year-old Dequan Lundy of South Daytona on Saturday after pulling him over for having a taillight out.<\/p>\n

According to deputies, Lundy has an active warrant out of the county for failure to appear related to possession of cocaine. A search of the vehicle revealed 290 round white unlabeled pills in a ziplock bag in his glove box, which later tested positive for MDMA.<\/p>\n

In the center console, more discoveries were made, with a clear jar containing Superman-shaped pills testing positive for fentanyl, and multiple other round pills of varying colors– including camo, blue, red, yellow, peach, and brown — which all tested positive for MDMA, according to the sheriff’s office. <\/p>\n

Along with the party drugs, deputies say they also located 18 grams of marijuana, multiple vape pens that tested positive for THC and hash oil, a glass pipe with marijuana residue, and two glass capsules with marijuana residue, according to the sheriff’s office. <\/p>\n

In total, Sheriff Rick Staly said FCSO recovered a whopping 400 pills from the vehicle:<\/p>\n

Most people\u2019s Easter baskets are full of colored eggs and candy. This Easter, a poison peddler had an illegal smorgasbord of colorful pills and poison. If you\u2019re carrying enough MDMA to stock a Stockholm nightclub and fentanyl that can kill with a tiny dose, we\u2019re going to find you and arrest you. I commend our deputy for looking beyond the traffic stop and getting this poison off the streets.<\/p>\n

Deputies say they arrested Lundy for trafficking phenethylamines, possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of drug paraphernalia, and failure to appear for possession of cocaine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla.
