DAYTONA BEACH DRUG DEALER ARRESTED, NEARLY 1 KILOGRAM FENTANYL SEIZED

A Daytona Beach drug dealer who was distributing trafficking amounts of fentanyl is now behind bars with a bond of more than $1.6 million after a task force investigation led to his arrest.

In early 2023, detectives with the East Volusia Narcotics Task Force determined Javaris Allen-Holt (DOB 10/22/1995) was trafficking fentanyl throughout the greater Daytona Beach area.

Early Wednesday, a search warrant executed at 619 Tomoka Road, Daytona Beach, yielded the recovery of almost a kilogram of fentanyl, 26 grams methamphetamine, 4 firearms and ammunition, $17,855 cash and various items used in the manufacture of fentanyl.

Allen-Holt was arrested on charges of armed trafficking in fentanyl, manufacturing fentanyl, armed trafficking in methamphetamine, renting/maintaining a structure for drug trafficking, possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, and possession of drug paraphernalia, with a total bond of $1,650,500.

Additional charges are pending further investigation.

The East Volusia Narcotics Task Force is a team effort with members from the Volusia Sheriff's Office, Ormond Beach Police Department, Holly Hill Police Department, Port Orange Police Department, South Daytona Police Department, City Of Edgewater Police Department, and New Smyrna Beach Police Department.
