Several federal and state law enforcement agencies were at Alfie Oakes\u2019 home and packing house for an investigation that remains undisclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They started to appear at his home in North Naples on Thursday and were on the scene for several hours before leaving just before 4 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several law enforcement departments were also seen at Oakes Farm packing house, including the Secret Service, the IRS and the U.S. Department of Defense Office of Inspector General on the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n

Oakes was on the scene of his packing store when media arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he left the property in his blue Range Rover with a \u201cTrump 2024\u201d decal covering a passenger door and \u201cSave America\u201d on the vehicle\u2019s quarter panel, he smiled and told us, \u201cGo Trump!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we asked him what authorities were doing at the scene, he replied, \u201cI\u2019m not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we asked him if he had anything to say, he replied, \u201cNo. Everything is all good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We asked whether the Collier County Sheriff\u2019s Office, FBI, or U.S. Customs were involved in the investigation, and they all responded they were not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Florida Highway Patrol was also at both scenes and told the media they were assisting a couple of agencies and securing the roadway as agencies completed their tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said that FHP often does this while agencies are on the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason for the presence of investigators remains unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oakes is the founder and CEO of Oakes Farms and was State Committeeman for the Republican Party of Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also owns the Seed To Table supermarket in North Naples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secret Service told us, \u201cWe are unable to provide comment as the U.S. Secret Service will not confirm the existence or status of an investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have reached out to the Department of Justice and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service and have not yet heard back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
