UPDATED: A six months long drug investigation by the Citrus County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) Tactical Impact Unit (TIU) resulted in the arrest of three Lecanto, FL residents: 38 year-old Felix Abdiel Pintado Bernard, 28 year-old Angel Alberto Seda Ways, and 32-year-old Jennifer Medina Lozada.
The three were taken into custody when deputies served a search warrant at residences located at 116 and 158 S. Kensington Ave. in Lecanto, FL, which are both located on the same five-acre tract. The properties were originally identified as the result of a traffic stop of Mr. Seda Ways, who was found to be in possession of cocaine.
During the investigation, the TIU, woking with the CCSO Intelligence Analhysis Unit, partnered with numerous other agencies, which included the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations - Tampa Airport Division, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations - Tampa Marine Unit, Hernando County Sheriff's Office SWAT team and the State Attorney's Office of the Fifth Judicial Circuit.
During the investigation, officials learned that packages of cocaine were being mailed to several addresses within Citrus County, FL, that were picked up from these addresses and delivered to the S. Kensington Ave., Lecanto, FL addresses.
During the six-months time span, numerous kilos of cocaine were seized by the TIU, and with each seizure, more information was gathered, so that officials had probable cause for the search warrant being issued.
When the search warrant was served, defendents Mr. Seda Ways and Ms. Medina Lozada both ran from the property, but they were immediately apprehended by law enforcement units on the perimeter of the property.
During the search, deputies seized 3 kg. (6.6 lb.) of cocaine, 6 firearms, weight scales, narcotic ledgers, drug packaging materials and a money counter. Over the duration of the investigation, a grand total of 8.98 kg. (19.8 lb.) of cocaine - with a street level value of $1,077,735.48 - was seized from this drug organization.

On Sept. 16, a deputy was dispatched to a Hernando residence due to a complaint by a man, that his female roommate had tried to contact him at work, which was unusual, and she didn't answer her phone several times when he called her back, and she later answered her phone, but he could hear Schneider in the background, and the phone call was disconnected. He told the deputy that he was concerned, and when he left work to return home, his roommate was not there, the front door was kicked in, and windows were broken. The report stated that damages were estimated at approximately $1,000.
The female roomate, who was trembling, told deputies that she was watching telelvision when she heard pounding at the front door and the bedroom window, then she heard the door being kicked in and saw Schneider standing in the doorway. She said he threatened to kill her and burn down the house if she called law enforcement. She said that Schneider head-butted her, knocking off her eyeglasses. The deputy reported that the female victim had a bruise to the left side of her face, near her eyeglasses.
The victim told the deputy that she attempted to call law enforcement, but Schneider grabbed her wrist, which caused her to drop the phone, and she was unable to complete the call. She said her phone began to ring, and it was her male roommate, but Schneider was throwing items around the living room, and as she ran to the back of the house to get away, Schneider threw a power drill at her, and he then left the residence.
