Deputies went to a Ballenger Lane residence in Palm Coast on Thursday to search for 20-year-old Jeremiah Myke of Palm Coast who had a felony arrest warrant for criminal mischief over $1,000.
Officials encountered and identified 18-year-old Julianna Colon and 23-year-old Crystelle Colon, who insisted Myke was not at the residence, told deputies he left the day before and did not know his whereabouts.
Deputies left after the women denied consent to search the residence, but continued to conduct surveillance.
The police later observed Myke and Julianna Colon exit the residence and leave in a vehicle. Deputies then conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and took them both into custody.

Deputies then returned to the residence and spoke to Colon again, who stated that Myke had been at the residence during their earlier conversation.
Deputies arrested Myke for his warrant. Both women were also arrested for obstruction without violence, as officials determined both knowingly and willingly lied to law enforcement about harboring fugitive Myke inside the residence.
The three were transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. Myke is being held on a $5,000 bond, while both women were released on $500 bonds.
