BONIFAY – A Bonifay man was charged with felony drug possession after investigators with the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office arrived at his Veneer Circle address to serve an arrest warrant on another subject.

Upon arriving at the home, investigators saw 35-year-old Justin R. Kelly (shown at right) standing outside and observed him reach into his pockets before quickly turning away from and then back toward the deputies.

The wanted subject was not located at the residence; however, deputies walked to the area where Kelly was standing when they arrived and observed two clear bags of methamphetamine and a napkin containing marijuana lying on the ground.

Kelly was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of marijuana less than 20 grams.
