Cantonment Man Accused Of Selling Fake LSD, Bringing Spice Into Jail

December 23, 2018

A Cantonment man is accused of the sale of fake LSD and bringing spice into the Escambia County Jail.

Joshua Robert Welch, 19, was charged with selling a misbranded drug in lieu of a controlled substance, possession of spice within 1,000 feet of a college and introduction of contraband into a detention facility.

Escambia County deputies conducted a traffic stop on Welch for not having a rear view mirror on Pensacola Boulevard near Pensacola Christian College. Officers found a small piece of aluminum foil containing what was believed to be LSD, also known as acid.

As officers questioned Welch, he began to cry, stating he was scared for getting pulled over, according to an arrest report.

Welch told deputies that he bought the drugs believing it was acid, but when he took one nothing happened. He stated he was going to try to sell the drugs to try to make some money but believed the items were fake acid, according to the report.

At the Escambia County, staff located a brown paper towel containing spice in Welch’s genital area, records show.

He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $7,500 bond.
