On May 16, TIU detectives served the search warrant at Ms. O'Callaghan's home. O'Callaghan was detained, along with Garry Lynn Inman, a man who was located inside a recreational venhicle (RV) parked at the back of the property. Detectives verified Inman's identity and learned that he was wanted on charges from the State of Michigan.
During the search of O'Callaghan's residence, detectives located trafficking amounts of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and crack cocaine, along with numerous items of drug equipment and paraphernalia.

SHERIFF'S COMMENT
Citrus County Sheriff Michael Prendergast commented on O'Callaghan's arrest, "Fentanyl is the single deadliest drug threat our nation has ever encountered and, yet again, we find ourselves having to remove another dangerous drug trafficker from our streets who believes that it's okay to peddle their deadly fentanyl in our community while carelessly endangering the life of a minor. Fentanyl is a dangerous weapon of mass-destruction that has no place in our community, and we will remain vigilant in our pursuit of those who traffick this lethal poison."
