CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. – A Friday morning search warrant execution in Crystal River ended with two people behind bars and a significant haul of illegal narcotics off the street. On February 26, 2026, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit, supported by the SWAT team, descended on a residence located at 6371 W. Cherrywood Street.
The operation began with deputies using a PA system to issue loud commands, ordering everyone inside to exit the home.
When the occupants failed to respond, SWAT members breached the entrance to gain access. Once inside, authorities located 52-year-old Sylvester Alfonzo Ingram El Jr. and 39-year-old Danielle Kincaid. Both were detained without further incident.
A subsequent search of the property turned up 31.4 grams of fentanyl and 29 grams of methamphetamine. Investigators also recovered various pills and a digital scale coated in fentanyl residue.

Following the discovery, Ingram El Jr. was hit with several charges, including trafficking in fentanyl, trafficking in methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and owning or leasing a structure for the purpose of trafficking.
Kincaid faces similar charges for trafficking both fentanyl and methamphetamine, along with a charge for possession of a controlled substance.
Sheriff David Vincent released a statement following the arrests, emphasizing the department’s stance on local drug activity.
“Fentanyl and other deadly drugs have no place in our community, and we will continue taking action to keep them off our streets,” Vincent said. “Citrus County is not a place where drug traffickers can operate without consequence. We’re committed to protecting our residents and ensuring our neighborhoods remain safe places to live and raise families.”
Both suspects were transported to the Citrus County Detention Facility following the raid.
