Operation Wild 'N' Out: 6/20/24
A major drug trafficking ring responsible for dealing fentanyl, heroin, meth, and cocaine in Volusia County was dismantled Thursday in a series of raids and arrests stemming from an 8-month multi-jurisdictional investigation that identified more than 3 dozen suspects.
The ringleaders and most of the 38 defendants identified in the investigation were arrested Thursday as detectives and agents fanned out across the county with arrest warrants. Those remaining will be arrested in the hours and days to come.
“It takes a team effort to bring down a drug trafficking organization like this, and that’s exactly what we did in this investigation,” Sheriff Mike Chitwood said of the operation, which involved about a dozen local, state and federal agencies. “Today we put a bunch of drug dealers in jail and made a major dent in the fentanyl, heroin and meth supply in our community. But we know our work is never done, and we have to pick it right back up tomorrow.”
The trafficking ring was led by Toure Wilder, Bobby Wilder, Khyree Isaac and Allen Messer. The group distributed illegal narcotics to other dealers throughout the Volusia County communities of Daytona Beach, Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, Oak Hill, and Deltona, as well as Pomona Park in Putnam County.
Evidence seized during the investigation included more than a kilogram of fentanyl, more than 19 pounds of methamphetamine, 69 grams of cocaine, and various equipment used to manufacture and package drugs for sale. During a search warrant raid Thursday morning at a house at 711 Essex Road in Daytona Beach, detectives found 75 grams of fentanyl stored in a baby diaper.
The cases will be prosecuted by the Florida Attorney General’s Office of Statewide Prosecution. Said Attorney General Ashley Moody: “Thankful to our law enforcement partners for shutting down this massive drug trafficking ring in Volusia County and getting this deadly poison off our streets. Now our statewide prosecutors will ensure these 38 drug traffickers are held accountable for their crimes.”
The investigation was led by the Volusia Bureau of Investigation (VBI) with the assistance of the East Volusia Narcotics Task Force. Partners included the FBI, DEA, FDLE, Homeland Security Investigations, ATF, Central Florida HIDTA, the DeLand, Edgewater, Holly Hill, New Smyrna Beach, Ormond Beach, and Port Orange police departments; VSO’s Overdose Task Force, Deltona Narcotics Enforcement Team, West Volusia Narcotics Task Force, and SWAT teams from VSO and FDLE.
"Disrupting drug trafficking organizations is a critical part of the FBI mission, and we are proud to work side-by-side with our federal, state, and local partners to make Florida a safer place,” said Kristin Rehler, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Jacksonville Field Office - Daytona Beach Resident Agency. "The FBI and our partners will continue to use every legal means available to rid our communities of dangerous drug distributors and the wanton destruction their activities create.”
“None of these drug dealers in Volusia or anywhere in the state are safe from prosecution,” FDLE Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jason Kriegsman said at the scene of one of the search warrants. “The men and women, all the members of the task force who are putting their lives on the line every day fighting these battles and making the community safer, it’s important they’re recognized, too.”
“The message has to be clear,” Sheriff Chitwood said. “If you’re going to peddle that poison in this community, we are coming to get you. Be prepared for what’s next.”

O goodie.. 1000s of man hours to catch street level dealers.. dont worry, no cartel members were bothered while yachting.
Can somebody reward the kid on the bike. He's barely a teen himself and he sprung into action alerting police and bystanders, critical thinking and situational awareness. Good job dude 👏👏
What happened to Nicole? Did She make it?
She was able to evade him.
Thank you so very much!🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Florida leading the way with common sense criminal justice!
The cops should have given her a free ride in a body bag..
I wish we could move these crimes to the Death Penalty.
Thank you for making our streets safer for our children!!!
Operation set up operation. Set him up. That's all y'all do drugs control the world. What do you think bailed out the u s economy back in the day multiple times guys who are just pawns in a big chess game You guys clean up the f. B. I's mess, we don't know about the FBI back room deals. Come on, now get over yourself. Woo, you got a few people. You'll never stop it. It's worth too much money and there's too many crooked ass cops out there
Edgewater to daytona is nothing but corruption If they can't find the real bad guy or the real drug dealer, they invent one. Use your imagination
that's sergeant. The one that like parades, everyone it really does look funny. He looks like one of those guys. You know, once again use your Intelligence, you can figure out what i'm talking about
Where's all of the people roasting each other?
Why is there so many slobs in Daytona ?
If you catch deltona resident tyler keller from 16 and pregnant driving around with his daughters hes planted coke on them, he never spends time with them unless hes doing a drug run
Strong hands with these delinquents, good job guys
Thank you!!!
Beautiful job. Teamwork makes the dream work. You protect and serve, while attaining target goals. Florida is safer everyday because of Departments like you
the strip club just got a new job opening
Please get with Sherriff Grady and come clean up Brevard since Ivey and his goons wanna be friends with the traffickers and pre warn them before the raids!
thankfully they didn't waste all these resources for some stupid weed crimes and actually went and took down REAL drugs
Did anyone look at her peers? Doesn't seem like a grown up but a peer known to her or just an acquaintance who's jealous of the" good girl" she's almost too good. Which makes others jealous in my opinion. Look at the other cheerleaders and their boyfriends. A dropout perhaps...
Sounds more like an adult. The burned house where she was killed is past her house from where she got off the bus so likely she was in a car. She was shot and I doubt her friends carried a gun with them to school. Possible? Yes. Likely? No.
Love it

AWESOME work officers! I hope the judges don't give them a slap on the wrist meaning probation. Get these thugs off the streets!
Be safe guys! 💙🕊️ Well done these 38 Parasites who who’ll unalive our children and families! Thank you for your work! May you be the example across this Country!
Weird, usually BWC isn’t available for release to the public because of the open criminal case? No?

I think criminals should be held accountable. Republicans get very angry when I say this.
What?
Think you have just about everything you said backwards.
No, Democrats are the ones that love crime and criminals. You’re dead wrong.
Thank you law enforcement. Don’t do crime in Florida👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
F**k around and find out. Don’t do crime in Florida👊🏻
Point well taken...thank you to all of our law enforcement officials.
Too bad cops can't police themselves with this kind of vigor... A.C.A.B.
La violenza di questo poliziotto supera quella dei criminali!Altro che il poliziotto doveva fare il Killer di professione! Disgustoso una brutalità dà fare invidia hai sicari e al peggiore dei delinquenti.

Wow. Even more respect from me then before.
82 rounds fired in a housing area. 68 misses, where did those missed rounds end up? No concern for ANY residence in their houses! PLUS, no video showing the AK-47/tactical shotgun being shot/pointed at LEOs! as mentioned in the News! Things do not add up!
I want to see the video evidence of Howe pointing the AK-47/tactical shotgun. I can not find this in any video made public. I would think that law enforcement would make sure the public is able to see such evidence! Where is it?

Used to live in the area, lots of creeps from drug dealers to chomos, too much population and not enough pay, lots of anti workers unions , licensed electrician in the county make 14 an hr
if you pull that hoopla it should be eligible for Baker Act imo. It's delusional. Maybe at the very least they will snap out of it
They said he shot the man 18 times on the video why it says.here its not true
