Multiple law enforcement agencies are at the home of a prominent Collier County businessman and controversial conservative activist.

Law enforcement, including federal officials, were seen going in and out of the home of Alfie Oakes on Santa Cruz Court in the Villages of Monterey community in North Naples and a packing plant in Immokalee.

Federal agents from the Defense Criminal Investigative Service were seen at the packing plant. The DCIS investigates cases of fraud, bribery, and corruption, including cyber crimes and computer intrusions.

The Florida Highway Patrol said they are on the scene on Santa Cruz Court securing the area for other agencies.

Oakes is a conservative political influencer and the owner of Oakes Farm and Seed to Table supermarket. He was born in Delaware and grew up in Southwest Florida. Recently, he held the position of Collier County Republican State Committeeman.

It is unclear why the federal officials and other agencies responded to Oakes' residence at this time.

This story will be updated as further information is confirmed.
