ORANGE PARK – An alert Clay County Sheriff’s Office deputy recognized a man who he had “previous law enforcement encounters” with and ended up arresting him for trafficking fentanyl following a traffic stop.
Lavoy Daniel Bennett, 43, of Jacksonville, was being held on a $250,003 bond after the deputy stopped him after running his license tag through the state’s database and learned his license had been suspended. He also was notified Bennett had an active outstanding felony warrant from the St. Johns Sheriff’s Office for trafficking fentanyl.
According to the arrest report, when the deputy activated his emergency lights and siren, Bennett lifted from the seat and moved “side to side.” When Bennett was searched, the deputy found three bundles and a cellophane baggie containing a total of 4.73 grams of fentanyl tucked in the front of Bennett’s underwear.
According to the report, when the drugs were found, Bennett said, “I don’t know what that (****) is, it ain’t mine.”
