VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said a problem house in Holly Hill was raided Tuesday and 14 people were arrested on suspected drug charges. 

The Volusia Sheriff's Office said a home was at the center of several calls about narcotics activity and overdoses, including a deadly one. Tuesday morning, members of the East Volusia Narcotics Task Force, Volusia Bureau of Investigation and VSO SWAT executed a search warrant and arrested everyone inside. 

Also inside the home at 817 South Flamingo Drive were small amounts of fentanyl and crack cocaine, deputies said.
