Fentanyl, other drugs, found in Punta Gorda home | Charlotte Sun

Two suspects were arrested on multiple drug-related charges Friday morning after the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office searched their home with a warrant.

Upon entering the house at the 3300 block of Ash Street in Punta Gorda, detectives found 5.5 grams, or 2,750 lethal doses according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, of Fentanyl in the room of Julene Brothers, 46.

The other resident, Cory Descalzo, 31, left the home via bicycle just before the warrant was served. Detectives later returned Descalzo to the home.

Detectives also found cannabis, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, crack cocaine, and buprenorphine-hydrocholoride pills.

“As we continue to identify and remove drug dealers from our community, those who are addicted need to know that they can contact us for help,” Sheriff Bill Prummell stated in a press release Friday.

Through CCSO’s drug recovery initiative, those seeking assistance with their addiction can bring their user amount of drugs to any district office or call deputies to their location. Through partnership with Charlotte Behavioral Health Care, deputies will bring the caller to detox free of charge and won’t arrest them.

Julene Brothers was arrested for trafficking fentanyl, possession of cocaine, possession of not more than 20 grams of marijuana, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, possession or use of drug paraphernalia, and three counts of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription. She is currently in custody with no bond.

Cory Descalzo was arrested for two counts of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of not more than 20 grams of marijuana, and possession or use of drug paraphernalia. He is currently in custody with a bond of $20,000.
