Traffic Stop Leads To Fentanyl, Meth Arrest
September 6, 2022
Two people are facing drug charges after a traffic stop along Highway 29.
Harvey Drexel Heath, age 66 of McDavid, was charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription (fentanyl), possession of a controlled substance without a prescription (methamphetamine) and driving without a license.
James Tyler Josey, a 42-year old who listed an address of homeless, was charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription (methamphetamine) and possession of drug paraphernalia.
An Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy conducted a traffic stop on a Nissan Titan driven by Heath at the Winn Dixie on Highway 29.
Josey, the passenger, was taken into custody due to an outstanding warrant from Santa Rosa County. The deputy noted a small bag containing methamphetamine and a straw in the passenger seat where Josey was seated.
A white powder that tested positive for fentanyl was found on a mirror in the center console, along with two bags containing fentanyl and two bags containing methamphetamine, according to an arrest report.
Heath told the deputy that a woman stole his truck in the past and had been driving it for a week, and the narcotics were not his, the report states.
Heath remained jailed Tuesday with bond set at $7,000 bond, while Josey was jailed with a $4,000 bond.

Wow someone stole their truck for a week and the drugs were hers omg!
The one on the right looks like he is literally at death’s door. He is poisoning himself to death with those drugs. So sad. He could do so much with his life without the drugs.
Hey, these two goobers probably weren’t driving and doing drugs. They waited until the light was red. Ha! That’s probably what they thought due to the horrible damage this drug does to what little brain they have left. What a waste of the life God gave them.
Thank you to our wonderful Law Enforcement for all they do to keep us safe. Bless you all!
classic poster for “this is your brain on drugs”…….
On the other hand, there is Mother Teresa, whose weather-beaten face showed nothing but peace and grace.
they will be turned loose and someone will get hurt.
Whoever said {You can’t judge a book by its cover} is wrong.
Just looking at them should be enough to scare you away from drugs period!!
Great work by law enforcement! Thanks!
