(Chipley, FL; March 29, 2018) – A Holmes County man is facing drug charges after a Washington County Sheriff’s Office K9 alerts to the presence of narcotics in a vehicle.
A traffic stop on S.R. 77, just south of Houston Road, led to the arrest of 58-year-old James Keith Kelley of Ponce De Leon, FL, last Tuesday afternoon. Kelley was removed from the vehicle after K9 Titan gave a positive indication of narcotics in the car.
During a search of Kelley, a black case, which was concealed inside his pants leg, fell to the ground. Inside the case, deputies located two containers that contained methamphetamine, a glass pipe, and a cut straw.
Kelley was arrested and booked into the Washington County Jail on possession of methamphetamine and possession of paraphernalia.
