TRAFFIC STOPS LEAD TO THE SEIZURE OF OVER 60 GRAMS OF FENTANYL AND HEROIN Posted on October 13, 2022 Over 60 grams of fentanyl and heroin are taken off the streets following two separate traffic stops by the Walton County Sheriff’s Office. On September 21st, Walton County Sheriff’s Office deputies and VICE/Narcotics investigators conducted a traffic stop on a white sedan near the intersection of Persimmon Street and Cedar Avenue in Choctaw Beach. During the traffic stop, the driver, Jonathon Scott Hataway, 28, was found to be in possession of 27 grams of marijuana and 57 grams of fentanyl. Two weeks later, on October 8th, deputies pulled over another white sedan near the intersection of US Highway 98 West and Old Blue Mountain Road. The driver of the vehicle, Michael Wayne Hand, 53, was found to be in possession of four small bags of a powdery substance, which he later told deputies was heroin. Both men were subsequently arrested and transported to the Walton County Jail. Hataway is facing two felony drug charges: trafficking in fentanyl and possession of marijuana over 20 grams. He was released on a $50,000 bond. Hand was charged with possession of heroin with the intent to sell. He was released on a $15,000 bond.   https://waltonso.org/news/feed/ Read More

Things to do in Myakka River State Park in Sarasota

If you’re staying in a vacation rental in the Bradenton Beach, Sarasota, or Siesta Key area, don’t forget to add Myakka River State Park to your vacation to-do list. This massive park is home to literally thousands of alligators, all waiting for their close up—from a safe distance, of course. Myakka River State Park is 58 square miles large and combines prairies with wetlands and pinelands. Running through the park is the Myakka River, perfect for boating, kayaking and fishing. Myakka River State Park was developed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and was one of eight state parks in Florida developed by the CCC. Previously, the land for the park was owned by Bertha Palmer, a businesswoman from Chicago who pursued cattle and pig ranching on the land. Fast forward to today, and one major draw for Myakka River State Park is the many, many alligators that call it home. When the weather is warm, you can see alligators swimming along in the river or sometimes sunning themselves not far from shore. Keep your distance, of course, and use the closeup function on your camera phone or a telephoto lens on a nice camera to snap some nice shots. During Sarasota’s busiest season, it’s not uncommon to find tourists speaking several different languages stopped in clumps to gaze at gators and snap pics to share with others.  Another great way to learn about the park is with its boat and tram rides. The boats will take... Read More

PATH AND PURPOSE; DISCOVERING A NEW LIFE AFTER INCARCERATION

PATH AND PURPOSE; DISCOVERING A NEW LIFE AFTER INCARCERATION Posted on October 11, 2022 The Walton County Jail graduates 32 inmates from a new program aimed at breaking the cycle of drugs and violence. The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment program is a 90-day program which utilizes a multitude of holistic treatments to combat drug addiction and trauma. The Walton County Jail now offers psychoeducational groups designed to educate inmates on substance abuse and related behaviors and consequences. As part of this substance abuse program, inmates have access to the Living in Balance curriculum, which is an evidence-based program designed to help prevent those with substance abuse issues from relapsing upon their release from jail. This program teaches inmates how to combat criminal thinking and is essential to the development of relapse prevention skills. “Our goal is to provide opportunities to change lives,” says Sheriff Michael Adkinson. “We want these men and women to realize their potential and not allow their past to limit their future.” In addition to the substance abuse treatments, the initiative also offers job training programs as well as assistance with resume writing, interview skills, and information on how to conduct a job search. So far, 19 male inmates and 13 female inmates have graduated from the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) program.   https://waltonso.org/news/feed/ Read More
