On Thursday, January 16, 2020 members of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office along with the North Star Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at a residence located in the Meadowview Community. During the execution of the search warrant a quantity of methamphetamine, assorted methamphetamine paraphernalia, and a quantity of suspected Synthetic Marijuana, aka K2 or Spice was located and seized. Additionally, two suspects, Brandy Coulliette and Mary Dykes were taken into custody in reference to arrest warrants for drug related charges. Three additional suspects, MaKayla Monday, Nickalist Lang, and Stevi Smith were also taken into custody in reference to drug related charges. The search warrant came as a result of multiple citizen complaints and larger scale drug investigation. Additional arrests are forthcoming as the investigation continues.

The North Star Multijurisdictional Drug Task Force (NSMDTF) is a task force charged with conducting drug enforcement work in ten counties geographically situated in the Big Bend / Central Panhandle area of North Florida. The NSMDTF quietly began operations on May 1, 2019, and is currently comprised of sworn law enforcement personnel from 13 agencies in ten counties stretching from Gulf County in the west to Lafayette County in the east. The Sheriffs of ten counties in that region have cross-deputized personnel from those ten counties to conduct drug investigations together as a task force throughout the region. An alphabetical listing of the agencies participating in the NSMDTF to date are the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office (SO); the Drug Enforcement Administration (D.E.A); the Gadsden County SO; the Chattahoochee Police Department; the Gulf County SO; the Jackson County SO; the Jefferson County SO; the Lafayette County SO; Leon County SO; the Liberty County SO; the Taylor County SO; and the Wakulla County SO.

Pursuant to Florida Statute 23.1225, the Sheriffs of Florida have the authority to enter into Combined Mutual Aid Agreements for Law Enforcement Services. The Sheriffs of Florida entered into the Florida Sheriffs’ Combined Operational Assistance and Voluntary Cooperation Mutual Aid Agreement (“Mutual Aid Agreement”) in 2017, which is effective until April 1, 2021. The Mutual Aid Agreement, section II, authorizes the creation of inter-agency task forces for drug violations. The NSMDTF was created pursuant to that authority.

Sheriff Roberts would like to extend his most sincere gratitude to the North Star Task Force for their assistance in this investigation and their continued commitment to the war on drugs.
