On June 13, 2024, the Levy County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) Drug Task Force and Criminal Investigations Division executed a search warrant at 2390 SE 145th Terrace in Morriston, Florida as the result of an investigation related to the sale of illegal narcotics from the home by Katrina Veith.
During the search, in Veith's bedroom, officials located illicit drugs and items of drug paraphernalia associated with the use or sale of drugs. The drugs included methamphetamine, fentanyl, marijuana, 6 buprenol/nalox pills, and oxycodone pills. The drug paraphernalia items included digital scales, syringes, boxes of plastic zippered bags, smoking pipes and straws.
Veith was charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell, manufacture or deliver; possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of fentanyl, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Her bond was set at $180,000.
Chloe Allen, 23, of Yankeetown, Florida was on the property at the time of the search. She was arrested on a warrant for grand theft of a motor vehicle. In the pocket of her shorts, deputies found two small plastic bags containing methamphetamine and a glass pipe; she was additionally charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Allen’s bond was set at $110,000.
Both were incarcerated at the Levy County Detention Bureau in Bronson, Florida.
“Narcotic investigations take time, effort and expertise," said Levy County Sheriff Bobby McCallum. "The men and women who are assigned to the Drug Task Force (DTF) have the experience, drive and determination they dedicate to these long, and sometimes difficult investigations. Tips from our community are often the catalyst that launches these investigations. Both women arrested in this investigation have extensive criminal histories spanning many years, and our neighbors are now safer that they are in jail. I am extremely proud of the DTF and the work they do for our community to make Levy County a safer place to live and raise our children.”
