CHIPLEY, Fla. (WDNews) – A man was arrested Friday, August 8, after police say he was found slumped behind the wheel of a parked car with methamphetamine and drug equipment in his possession.
According to the Chipley Police Department, an officer spotted a black Honda Accord parked behind Tractor Supply outside of business hours. Inside, the officer found Rory James Davis in the driver’s seat, appearing disoriented and drifting in and out of consciousness.
Davis was reportedly confused about his location and could not immediately provide identification. Police say he emptied his pockets, briefly revealing a purple eyeglass case containing what appeared to be a pipe commonly used for illegal drug use before quickly returning it to his pocket.
Officers detained Davis and recovered the eyeglass case, which contained a glass smoking pipe with residue that tested positive for methamphetamine. A further search of the vehicle turned up more evidence: a digital scale with meth residue, a pill bottle containing methamphetamine in a plastic bag, and a small amount of marijuana in a white container on the passenger seat.
Davis was arrested and charged with:
- Possession of a Controlled Substance (Methamphetamine)
- Possession of Drug Equipment (Scale and Pipe)
- Possession of Marijuana (Less than 20 grams)
He is currently being held pending further legal proceedings.
