A joint investigation of the Kissimmee and St. Cloud police departments of what they called a "nuisance property" led to the arrest of 11 suspects and the seizure of more than 60 pieces of evidence during a raid Thursday morning.
Among what was seized at the home on New Nolte Road, just northwest of the intersection of Nolte Road and Michigan Avenue in St. Cloud was 28 grams of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Following the search warrant, the St. Cloud Code Enforcement and Building Departments condemned the home after finding it to be uninhabitable. Osceola County Animal Services is providing care for eight dogs that were removed from the home.
St. Cloud Police officials say the property drew more than 40 calls for police service in 2025.
“The illegal activities going on at this property have no place in the City of St. Cloud,” said St. Cloud Police Chief Douglas Goerke. “Residents can trust that this police department will bring all available resources to ensure our neighborhoods stay safe.”
The charges of those arrested were:
Austin Owens - Possession of new legend drug w/out prescription
Anthony Dow – Possession of controlled substance (methamphetamine), Possession of drug paraphernalia
Angel Butler - Dealing in stolen property
Daniel Gammon - Possession of controlled substance (methamphetamine), Possession of drug paraphernalia, Resisting without violence

“At the heart of public safety is partnership," Kissimmee Police Chief Charles Broadway said. "I’m grateful for the teamwork and strong working relationship between our agencies as we continue serving and protecting our communities together.”
