CCSO: ten people arrested in East Naples duplex for illegal drugs

COLLIER COUNTY, Florida. The Collier County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) arrested ten people and confiscated an amount of fentanyl and other illegal drugs while issuing a search warrant on Wednesday.

Detectives, with the help of SWAT, executed the warrant at 3529 Seagrape Ave.

Investigators say the duplex is well known to detectives for illegal activities and has been the target of numerous complaints and code violations over the years.

The CCSO reports that MPs have responded to 13 drug overdoses since 2020, including three fatal overdoses, in a duplex.

They say detectives found 27 grams of fentanyl, along with other illegal drugs, in a barn owned by 59-year-old Sherman resident Leon Ware.

Ware is charged with fentanyl trafficking, possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

During the search, they report funding for several other drugs, drug equipment, and paraphernalia throughout the duplex.

Detectives also found a loaded gun in the room of resident Christopher Lee Kapisha, who is a convicted felon.

Kapish is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted Florida felon, possession of fentanyl, possession of cocaine, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
