Biggs
A Jay man is facing drug charges after law enforcement responding to a suspicious loitering complaint on Jan. 22 discovered methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia on his person.
Dexter Darrel Biggs, 40, 4529 Darney Road, was arrested and charged with one count felony possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and one count drug paraphernalia following a search of his person in response to a complaint of a man acting suspiciously at the intersection of Neal Jones Road and Water Mill Road, according to a Santa Rosa County Sheriff's office report.
The report said law enforcement contacted the suspect walking down the road with a female walking with a mountain bike. Both adults identified themselves as Biggs and Courtney Moody to officers and told officers they had seen anyone else.
According to the report, Biggs gave the deputy permission to search his person and told the officer he was on Alabama State Probation for possession of narcotics. The officer found a pipe, a pack of cigarettes, a red wash cloth and a silver hollow key chain, the report stated.
The deputy took apart the key chain and observed what his experience and training told him was a substance known as 'ice'. A field test resulted positive for the presence of methamphetamine, aka 'ice', the report said.
The deputy then obtained permission to search Moody. The report said the deputy searched her packets, but was refused when he asked to search her backpack. Moody told law enforcement she had smoked meth earlier that morning but would not tell who she was with and denied any knowledge of the ice Biggs had in his possession.
Biggs was arrested and transported to the Santa Rosa County jail and given a bond of $6,000.
