On February 4, 2024, deputies with the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on Sandpath Rd. in Bonifay.
Contact was made with the vehicle occupants, and a warning for an expired tag was issued to the driver.
During the interaction, K9 Buck conducted a free air sniff around the vehicle and gave a positive alert to the presence of illegal narcotics near the back passenger door on the driver’s side.
All occupants were asked to exit the vehicle. The back driver’s side passenger was identified as Ashley Williams of Bonifay.
A search of the vehicle produced a bottle of urine and handwarmers that would be used to pass a drug urine test in a backpack belonging to Williams. Under her seat, deputies also discovered a glass pipe containing a usable amount of methamphetamine.
Ashley Williams was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was transported to the Holmes County Jail without incident. The other occupants of the vehicle were released from the scene.
