Last Thursday, a SWAT-backed raid on a home in Crystal River, Florida resulted in the arrest of two individuals and the seizure of 31.4 grams of fentanyl and 29 grams of methamphetamine. The Citrus County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant at the residence after repeated commands went unanswered, leading to the detention of Sylvester Alfonzo Ingram El Jr. and Danielle Kincaid. Both now face multiple drug-related charges.

A search of the home uncovered approximately 31.4 grams of fentanyl, 29 grams of methamphetamine, assorted pills, and a digital scale coated in fentanyl residue.
