ā¢ āViolent individual': Florida SWAT team breaches apartment to arrest man in drug bust, sheriff says (snntv.com) ā A pre-dawn SWAT raid at an apartment on Brentwood Drive in Daytona Beach led deputies to arrest a 32-year-old man on multiple serious drug charges. Volusia County investigators say they seized cocaine, fentanyl, oxycodone and manufacturing equipment, and the suspect is being held without bond at the county jail. Neighbors may notice heightened narcotics enforcement in that area.

A Daytona Beach Police Union representative says the real concern is how the technology is used, not the cameras themselves, as residents debate privacy versus crime-fighting benefits. Ā Ā Ā
