Fentanyl seized could have potentially killed entire populations of Flagler and Putnam Counties, sheriff says
A Georgia man found sleeping in his truck was busted in Florida with enough fentanyl to potentially kill the entire populations of Flagler and Putnam Counties, authorities said Monday.

James Duke, 33, of Kennesaw, Georgia, was arrested just after 4 a.m. on Sunday at a closed Mobil gas station in Palm Coast, the Flagler County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies had responded to an alarm at the gas station and found Duke sleeping in a black Ford Ranger parked behind the building. After a deputy woke him up, Duke claimed he had permission to be there and gave a fake name, the sheriff’s office said.

The deputy eventually learned Duke’s correct name and that he had a non-extraditable arrest warrant from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee for failure to appear in court.
