WALTON COUNTY, FLA— Three people are behind bars and more than 100 grams of fentanyl is off the street after an investigation by the Walton County Sheriff’s Office VICE/Narcotics Unit.

The two-month-long investigation led to a search warrant at 44 Angel Lane in Santa Rosa Beach where investigators located the fentanyl along with methamphetamine, nearly $3,000 cash, and nine firearms.

A serial number search revealed one of the guns was reported stolen out of Okaloosa County.

As a result of the search warrant the following individuals have been arrested:

  • Christian Michael Weafer, 34 – Trafficking in Fentanyl over 28 grams, Possession of Methamphetamine, Grand Theft of a Firearm, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
  • Daisy May Sherman, 28 – Trafficking in Fentanyl over 28 grams, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, Possession of Ammunition by a Convicted Felon, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
  • Joshua Michael Melcher, 46 – Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Sherman is a convicted felon from Operation Mr. Clean, an 18-month-long investigation focused on bringing down a massive drug trafficking enterprise in Walton County that concluded in November 2020. She was adjudicated guilty on charges of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell and using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony.

If found guilty, Weafer and Sherman face a minimum mandatory sentence of 25 years for trafficking fentanyl more than 28 grams.

“Every case we handle is a reminder that in law enforcement, persistence and patience are often just as important as the tools we use,” said Sheriff Michael Adkinson. “The seizure of fentanyl in this investigation was the result of months of meticulous work—watching, listening, and waiting for the right moment. The dangerous threat posed by these drugs is real and while this is a victory, we are determined to continue our fight against drugs in our community.”

Fentanyl is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, 2 milligrams of fentanyl is generally considered a lethal dose for most people. This is equivalent to a few grains of salt.
