The Bay County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Division concluded an investigation on March 7th, 2023, with the arrest of an active Methamphetamine supplier in Bay County, and four others believed involved.
After the investigation began, Devan McDonald, age 28, of Callaway, was developed as the main suspect. It was believed that McDonald was importing large amounts of Methamphetamine into the Bay County area.
While investigating McDonald, another subject involved in methamphetamine distribution was identified as Kyle James, age 38, of Youngstown. This led investigators to conduct a traffic stop on James.
A probable cause search was done on James’s vehicle. This search resulted in the recovery of approximately two pounds of methamphetamine and two handguns.
Continuing the operation, investigators located McDonald in the Callaway area. Investigators attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle being driven by McDonald. McDonald proceeded to ram his vehicle into a law enforcement vehicle and fled from the traffic stop.
A vehicle pursuit began, and McDonald was successfully apprehended a short distance away. After McDonald was in custody, a search of his vehicle resulted in the recovery of approximately three pounds of methamphetamine.
Investigators then served search warrants on two different addresses they had observed McDonald stay.
The first residence, 121 Big Oak Lane was searched, and a handgun and more methamphetamine was recovered. Investigators learned that this residence was used to distribute the methamphetamine.
Located and arrested at the home was Glenn Richards, age 33, Marshall Webb, age 57, and Brittany Wilson, age 32.
The second residence, 6516 Cherry Street, was also searched. This home is where McDonald lived.
Investigators recovered more methamphetamine, approximately ten thousand dollars, and Buprenorphine strips.
