Port Charlotte woman busted with copious amounts of Fentanyl, meth, cocaine and cash

This week, Florida’s Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office renewed their efforts in the never-ending battle against illegal drugs in their community. Early on the morning of February 11, narcotics detectives executed a search warrant at 22545 Laika Ave. in Port Charlotte, where they recovered a trafficking amount of fentanyl, methamphetamine, an excessive amount of paraphernalia, and a large sum of currency.

Inside the home of 39-year-old Kimberley Diggins, detectives located nearly 50 grams of Fentanyl, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, and copious amounts of needles. This amount of Fentanyl alone carries a minimum, mandatory sentence of 25 years and is 12 times the amount to land a Trafficking charge. After all things are considered, Diggins will be looking at charges of Trafficking in Fentanyl, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Cocaine, and Possession of Paraphernalia.

And Diggins is no stranger to the Sheriff’s Office, with arrests dating back to 2007. Her previous charges include fraud, exploitation of an elderly or disabled adult, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, grand theft, possession of heroin with intent to sell, and resisting arrest.
