The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office continues its battle against illegal narcotics in our community. Early this morning, narcotics detectives executed a search warrant at 22545 Laika Ave. in Port Charlotte, locating a trafficking amount of fentanyl, methamphetamine, an excessive amount of paraphernalia, and a large sum of currency inside.
Inside the home of Kimberley Diggins (02/26/83), detectives located nearly 50 grams of Fentanyl, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, and copious amounts of needles. This amount of Fentanyl alone carries a minimum, mandatory sentence of 25 years and is 12 times the amount to land a Trafficking charge. Following today’s search, Diggins faces charges of Trafficking in Fentanyl, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Cocaine, and Possession of Paraphernalia.
Diggins is well-known to the Sheriff’s Office, with arrests dating back to 2007. Her previous charges include fraud, exploitation of an elderly or disabled adult, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, grand theft, possession of heroin with intent to sell, and resisting arrest.
“The amount of fentanyl seized today has without a doubt saved the lives of many,” states Sheriff Prummell.
