CITRUS SPRINGS - Citrus County’s Tactical Impact Unit executed a search warrant at a home on North Cherry Lake Drive yesterday, after anonymous tips led Detectives to investigate alleged drug trafficking inside the residence.
Through their investigation, Citrus County Detectives learned that a convicted felon out of Colorado, 32-year-old Duane Starkey, owned the home located at 9909 N. Cherry Lake Drive.
During a search of the home, investigators discovered large quantities of narcotics hidden in high-tech safes throughout the residence. Starkey also utilized an advanced locking mechanism on his bedroom door that required a thumb print and security code to gain entry. Inside Starkey’s bedroom, investigators located guns, drugs, gems, jewelry, and a large amount of U.S. currency.
Detectives located a plethora of various drugs; including Cocaine, Marijuana, LSD, Psilocybin (mushrooms), Anabolic Steroids (DECA, Chorionic, Stanozolol, Clenbuterol, Trenbolone, Testovorin), Suboxone, Propacet, Hydrocodone, Dronabinol, Oxycodone, Carisoprodol, Amphetamine, Alprazolam, Methlephenidate/hydrochloride, and Lorazepam.
Starkey faces the following charges:
- Possession of Firearm by Convicted Felon - 1 Count
- Trafficking in Over 28g of Oxycodone - 1 Count (carries a 15year minimum mandatory if convicted)
- Possession of Controlled Substance With Intent to Sell - 14 Counts
- Possession of Cannabis with Intent to Sell - 1 Count
- Possession of Drug Paraphernalia – 1 Count
Starkey is currently held on a $54,000.00 bond.
Although Starkey is the prime suspect in this case, it should be noted, Robert Crosby, 23, was also located in the home during the search warrant. Deputies found 3 grams of marijuana wax and an empty baggie of cocaine on Crosby’s person. Crosby confessed to deputies that the marijuana wax was his and that he had snorted the cocaine earlier that morning. Crosby received a notice to appear on charges of possession of Marijuana and Paraphernalia, in lieu of being booked into the Citrus County Jail.

Not high tech enough….Should have used the forest for his stash…All that cash would have been much safer buried under ground deep in the forest rather then in his bedroom…Now its all gone, gone, gone!
LOL, looks like Robert fell face-first into a tackle box.
Har.. har ….har.. you’re a million laughs.
Great job by the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office. One more drug dealing felon off the streets.
Sound like fine outstanding citizens.
They must be since they’re not black…😒
Bros and Hoes not that bright.
Why do you have to bring race into this story?
Race has nothing to do with it so don’t even play that race card bs!!!!
Lets make a Deal Here! Officer Says to the Druggie You Eat all this Stuff & We let you Walk! And we will even Pay your way Back to Colorado! Druggie says How do I know that you will stick To your end of the Deal?
Here’s two more idiots to add to the truly dumb file, shootem
Congrats sheriff department seems he should of stayed in Colorado.
It would be easier to list the drugs they DIDN’T have. No spice or bath salts?
keep the magnets away from the bottom guy?
Why are bonds so low for such serious charges? $54,000 is a drop in the bucket for an obvious major drug dealer!
thumb print lock high tech? Been around for decades..lol Ebay has these for cheap.. Everything he had can easily be purchased on the internet and more than half with a little doctor shopping. At least he had a good variety. Especially the cycles.. Eat clen, Tren hard, Tes the limits, Dbolish the competition, GHet huge, Anavar give up..
Huh?
Consider an English tutor.
All the Citrus County users will be down in Hernando County this week-end stocking up…up tick in crime, supply and demand.
I guess one of his good customers must have rolled over on him because the Citrus County SO had good info.
Does he think those lip piercings make him look good? They make me cringe. Looks horrid!!!
Enjoy your stay in your sunshine state cell.You Rocky Mountain douche nozzle.
See now,I’d have no problem if Duane here got himself shot while being taken into custody. But, I’m Caucasian so I value lives differently.
I was being sarcastic with this response.
Racial posts seem to be the norm on here.
Another Local Winner.
