FBI agents, along with the Volusia County Bureau of Investigation, raided the Wagner Chiropractic and Acupuncture Clinic on North Ridgewood Avenue (see map) Thursday morning at around 8:00 a.m.

For most of the day in Daytona Beach, agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation were in and out of Dr. Joseph Wagner's chiropractic clinic. As they worked, investigators with masks from Volusia County assisted them.

The FBI would only say that the search conducted by the agents is related to an ongoing investigation.

On the sign outside of the building, Wagner is only listed as a physician's assistant; but WFTV found out that he is the father of Volusia County council member Josh Wagner, who WFTV tried to speak with after county council meeting on Thursday.

"I've been in this meeting the whole day so you guys probably know more about what's going on. I have no idea," said Josh Wagner.

Wagner is a local attorney who has many roots besides his father in Daytona Beach. His brother is also a chiropractor. He owns stake in a local magazine and was once involved with a deal to put a restaurant in the Main street pier, but it fell apart.

"I have to go to this school board meeting…so thank you," he said.

At this point, the FBI will not say if the councilman has been questioned. Sources told WFTV that Thursday's raid was the result of months of investigation, but the FBI would not say what they were looking for exactly.
