Meth Suspect Arrested In Stolen Car

March 16, 2013

A Santa Rosa County man was arrested Friday after Escambia County deputies found him in a stolen car with materials commonly used to make meth.

Deputies responded to a suspicious vehicle call at a Walgreens on North 9th Avenue. When they arrived, they found 32-year old Jason Claude Ward in the  vehicle. Deputies soon determined that the car had been reported stolen on March 9.

As deputies were removing Ward’s belongings from the stolen vehicle, they discovered a bag containing items which are commonly used to make methamphetamine.

Ward was charged with possession of a listed chemical with the intent to manufacture a controlled substance, producing methamphetamine and trafficking in methamphetamine over 14 grams. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $65,000.

Ward’s involvement in the vehicle theft remains under investigation.
