On Friday, June 2, around 9 p.m., deputies saw Kyle Hodges, who had an active warrant for attempted burglary, and Joshua Phillmon, who had an active warrant for Violation of Probation, driving west on Highway 90 towards Marianna.
Deputies conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle the men were in, asked them to step out of the vehicle and placed them under arrest.
Deputies found a hypodermic needle in Hodges’ pocket and Hodges told deputies it was filled with “ice,” which is the street name for methamphetamine. K-9 Dutch was then deployed, and alerted to the presence of the odor of narcotics inside the vehicle.
During a search of the vehicle, deputies found about 2.2 grams of methamphetamine inside a clear plastic baggy under the passenger seat where Hodges was sitting, and a glass smoking pipe in the center console.
Hodges was arrested and is being charged with Possession of Methamphetamine and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
Phillmon was arrested and is being charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Both men are also being held on their warrants.
