Police shut down Davis Shores drug house

Community Affairs Officer Barbara Stevens reported to Historic City News that the St. Augustine Police Department has shutdown an alleged drug house after serving a search warrant at a residence on the corner of Flagler Boulevard and Gerado Street in Davis Shores.

The warrant, signed by Judge Wendy Berger, was obtained by police as a result of an extensive investigation into multiple complaints of possible drug activity and suspected manufacturing of methamphetamine taking place at the residence.

When the warrant was served early this morning, police found evidence of an active methamphetamine lab as well as marijuana, drug paraphernalia and large a quantity of prescription pills.

All seven people found inside the residence when the warrant was executed were detained for questioning. Five of the seven have been taken into custody.

Luke M. Paulsen (DOB 02/26/1985) and Amanda L Graves (DOB 02/20/1983) were both charged with manufacturing methamphetamines.

Gina M Guinn (DOB 05/05/1987) and Gary S Johnson (DOB 05/20/1974) were charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell.

And, Nicholas D Hawkins (DOB 05/24/1980) has been charged with possession of marijuana under 20 grams.

Additional charges may be pending.

The scene was turned over to the St Johns County Sheriff’s Office hazmat team for cleanup and removal of the chemicals.
