PORT CHARLOTTE, FL – On the morning of Tuesday August 9, 2022, the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit, with the assistance of the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team and the Collier County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team executed a search warrant on Ohara Drive in Port Charlotte, Florida.
According to authorities, as deputies were approaching the residence, they made contact with 56 year-old John Alton Knight, Jr. and gave verbal commands for him to put his hands up. Knight ignored the commands and fled into the residence. When units made entry, John was found next to the sink in the kitchen area, where he was calling out to a female in the home, identified as 39 year-old Rebecca Mary Knight. John was resistant and continued to ignore the commands of the deputies and both John and Rebecca were taken into custody.
During the search, deputies located the following throughout the home:
- Approximately 6 pounds of Methamphetamine
- 58.4 grams of Fentanyl, 53.2 grams of Oxycodone
- 27.41 pounds of Synthetic Cannabinoids
