25 arrested in west Volusia County drug bust

Twenty-five people were arrested in DeLand and Deltona this week as part of an operation targeting street-level drug dealers, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said.

The sweep, called “Operation Crack of Dawn,” was part of a special operation with the West Volusia Narcotics Task Force and Deltona Narcotics Enforcement Team.

“We will continue to come after these drug dealers who are peddling poison on our streets, destroying the lives of their customers and disrupting our quality of life in Volusia County,” Sheriff Mike Chitwood said in a news release. “They can run, and they can hide, but we will find them. We won’t stop looking.”

Investigators raided several homes and found drugs, cash, weapons and ammunition.

One of the suspects, Jamar Booker, 27, had a .45 caliber Beretta handgun that had been stolen out of Volusia County.

A search at the home of Tiberius Dixon, 32, who was already on probation for drug sales, revealed cocaine, prescription drugs and marijuana, deputies said.

There are outstanding warrants for 12 more suspects.
