    A man in the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility is facing charges related to drugs and sea turtle eggs.

    Flagler County deputies say Wesley Winters, 53, was found parked in front of a home in Beverly Beach that he was not supposed to be at due to a temporary no-contact order.

    The deputy at Sunday’s arrest said several white and tan orbs covered in sand were in a tray on the floorboard. They were quickly identified as sea turtle eggs, so the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was called in.

    The sheriff’s office said methamphetamine, fentanyl, marijuana, an alprazolam pill, marijuana bowls and a THC vape pen were also found.

    The sheriff’s office said before FWC arrived, Winters told the deputy the eggs were from two nests that had eroded away, and he had picked them up after seeing them washing down the beach. He reportedly said he knew the eggs were unhatched but believed they were nonviable.

    Winters was arrested by the deputy on charges of possession of fentanyl, possession of methamphetamine, possession of alprazolam, possession of marijuana (20 grams or less), possession of drug paraphernalia and violation of a no-contact order.

    The FWC arrested Winters on five misdemeanor counts of knowingly possessing 11 or fewer marine turtle eggs and five felony counts of taking, disturbing, mutilating or destroying marine turtle eggs.

    A Lexington man was arrested last week in a multi-agency investigation of narcotics sales.

    The Vice Narcotics Units of the Lexington Police Department and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office worked with the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation on the investigation, which led to Kevin Maurice Hargrave, 45, being stopped while he was driving on Friday, Aug. 22.

    Detectives found 10 pounds of methamphetamine in the car, a press release from the Lexington Police Department said.

    Detectives then executed a search warrant at Hargrave’s residence in the 600 block of Price Road in Lexington and found 1 ounce of cocaine, 8 grams of heroin, an AR-15-style rifle, and a handgun, police said.

    Hargrave was charged with two counts of trafficking methamphetamine, trafficking heroin, possession with intent to sell and deliver methamphetamine, possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine, manufacture, sale and delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school, maintaining a dwelling and a vehicle for a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

    Hargrave was being held in the Davidson County Detention Center with bond set at $1.1 million secured. He is scheduled to appear in Lexington District Court on Sept. 12.
