FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wednesday, April 2, 2008 deputies stopped a vehicle in the Chipley area for a traffic infraction.  During questioning, one of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office K-9’s alerted to the rear bumper of the vehicle.  Both the driver and the front seat passenger, Israel Chavez Anton, 29 year old Hispanic male from the Haines City, FL area were asked to exit the vehicle and deputies proceeded to do a pat down search.  During that search both a pipe and a bag of methamphetamines was found on Anton.  Anton was arrested and charged with possession of narcotic equipment and possession of methamphetamines.

“This is the perfect example of why our deputies never work off the assumption that a stop will be routine” states Sheriff Haddock.  “Our deputies were able to make a very successful stop, with the assistance of the Chipley Police Department, because of great execution of extensive training.”
