COTTONDALE, Fla. (WDNews) – A traffic stop on Highway 231 north of Campbellton on Friday, June 20, 2025, led to a short pursuit and multiple charges after the driver, identified as Norris Wynn of Cottondale, attempted to flee the scene.
A Jackson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) deputy initiated the stop on a suspected impaired driver. During the stop, the deputy observed a firearm on the floor between Wynn’s feet. When questioned about the weapon, Wynn fled in his vehicle, prompting a brief pursuit. Wynn eventually turned onto Dionne Road, where he attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended by the deputy.
Upon his arrest, Wynn was found in possession of 20 grams of cocaine, 2 ounces of marijuana, and 57 grams of methamphetamine. However, the firearm observed earlier was not immediately located.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) K9 handlers assisted the JCSO in searching for the weapon. The firearm was later recovered along Highway 231 near the initial traffic stop location.
Wynn faces multiple charges, including Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Possession of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony, Trafficking in Methamphetamine, Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine, Possession of Marijuana, Resisting an Officer Without Violence, Fleeing and Eluding Law Enforcement, Resisting Arrest, and Possession of a Controlled Substance.
Sheriff Edenfield expressed gratitude for the assistance provided by FWC in locating the firearm and helping bring Wynn to justice.
