A Jackson County, FL traffic stop conducted by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office on Jan. 20 led to the discovery of illegal narcotics and a stolen firearm.
According to the sheriff’s office, deputies stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation and identified the driver as Oda Myrick. Authorities said Myrick is a convicted felon and was already on probation at the time of the stop.
During the investigation, deputies said Myrick became uncooperative, refused lawful commands, and attempted to flee the scene. He was taken into custody without further incident.
A search of the vehicle uncovered a digital scale commonly used for weighing narcotics, marijuana, two baggies containing methamphetamine, and multiple empty baggies. Deputies also recovered a firearm from the vehicle that was confirmed stolen out of Holmes County, Florida.
The narcotics were later weighed and found to include approximately 34 grams of methamphetamine and 3 grams of marijuana.
Myrick was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute, and resisting without violence.
The sheriff’s office thanked its deputies for their long hours and continued efforts to keep illegal drugs out of the community and protect Jackson County residents.
