FCSO Arrests 2 North Carolina Fugitives with ‘ELVIS’ Technology

ⓒ Flagler County Sheriff's Office

Two fugitives from North Carolina were arrested in Palm Coast last week by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, the agency announced Tuesday. The arrests were aided by a new technology called the Electronic License and Vehicle Information System (ELVIS).

According to the FCSO’s report, a traffic stop was conducted on a vehicle with two occupants in Palm Coast on Tuesday, March 25th. The driver was identified as 55-year-old Cleveburn Coleman. The drivers license provided to deputies was reportedly from Maryland, and had a false name.

The passenger, identified as 40-year-old Shannon Hodge, also provided ID which rang up as false. She also was said to have given a false name when asked. Both Coleman and Hodge’s licenses were flagged as false using the ELVIS database, the FCSO says.

A search was conducted on the pair’s vehicle, reportedly leading to the discovery of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia. Both of the two eventually are said to have given legitimate identification, revealing that both were wanted with active arrest warrants for larceny in North Carolina.

Coleman was arrested and charged with cocaine possession, drug paraphernalia possession, knowingly driving with a  suspended license, providing a false name to law enforcement, and possession of a false ID. His bond was set at $23,500 and he remains in custody at the county jail as of Tuesday.

Hodge was arrested and charged with cocaine possession, drug paraphernalia possession, and possession of a false ID. She was booked into the county jail on $18,000 bond, where she remains as of Tuesday.

“Fugitives like these dirtbags who think they can use Flagler County as a safe haven to outrun their warrants and then provide our deputies with fake IDs should think again,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “We have the resources and technology to properly identify you, arrest you, and check you into the [county jail].”

    Just because they messed up didn’t give you a reason to call them “dirt bags” mr.staly.. Lead your county by example starting with not judging people. Same can be said for cops as they are the real dirt bags.

    Glad they caught these dirt bags. IMO anyone who messes up like these two fools did and got caught, deserve to be call whatever the sheriff wants to call them. Besides, they tried to fool the cops with false names, so they were given new ones from the sheriff.
