WASHINGTON COUNTY, FL (WDNews) – Two Panama City residents are behind bars following their arrest on drug charges this weekend.
Just before 4:00 p.m. on July 28th, Washington County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call about suspicious individuals near Toms Rd. in Ebro. When the deputies arrived, the occupants of the vehicle were unable to produce valid identification. A quick check revealed that none of the occupants had valid driver’s licenses.
During the encounter, deputies observed 25-year-old Ethan Holloway attempting to dispose of a glass smoking device by throwing it into the woods. All occupants were detained for further investigation.
A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered several illegal items, including two plastic baggies containing a crystallized substance that tested positive for methamphetamine.
Holloway was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine, evidence destroying or concealing, and possession of drug paraphernalia. A passenger in the vehicle, 25-year-old Ryan A. Smith, was also arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of paraphernalia.
