A Wewahitchka, FL resident is behind bars on several felony charges in Washington County.

At approximately 11:56pm, on May 5th, WCSO deputies patrolling the Rolling Pines Rd. area observe a vehicle matching the description of a vehicle being driven by a wanted subject, later identified, as 33-year-old, Harold Ray Mangum.

WCSO deputies made contact with Mangum who was asked for his driver’s license and he stated he did not have them.

During booking, a search of his person revealed Mangum to be in possession of a controlled substance.

Mangum was booked on the current charges of possession of methamphetamine, resisting an officer without violence and false ID given to LEO.
