WALTON COUNTY, Fla. (WDNews) – A Walton County Deputy, along with K-9 Kenny, arrested a Freeport woman for possession of cocaine, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia on Tuesday afternoon.

Patricia Padget, 59, of Freeport, was pulled over by a deputy while driving on U.S. 331 S after witnessing her driving erratically and switching lanes abruptly in her white Honda.
