“Here’s another case of fugitives running from the law and trying to hide in Flagler County,” said Sheriff Rick Staly in a statement. “These two dangerous criminals think they’re above the law and can get away with their crimes. Well, I’m here to remind them that they can’t hide in Flagler County! This was a team effort by all involved, and they are back behind bars where they belong.”

Reports indicate they are being held on no bond.
