Alleged drug dealer hit in the face with flying bag of cocaine thrown by panicked customer as cops move in

A suspected drug dealer was hit in the face with a bag of cocaine thrown by a panicked customer as police arrived to intercept a deal.

Officers from Volusia Sheriff’s Office arrived at a property in Daytona Beach after receiving complaints about an alleged drug deal on Friday (27 March).

Footage shared by the force on Monday (30 March) shows customer Charlie Damon suddenly hurling a bag of cocaine at alleged drug dealer Bobby Johnson as officers pulled up to the scene.

The officers then pursued three suspects at the scene, with bodycam footage showing their arrests.

The force said that 831 grams of cocaine was recovered, as well as cash and guns. Damon, Johnson and another defendant Amuri Kelson, were charged accordingly and taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail.
