JACKSON COUNTY: On December 26th, 2020 the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Jackson Hospital Emergency Room to a reported stabbing that occurred at a residence southeast of Marianna. The victim, Royce Allen Alday, identified a pile of bloody clothes in the emergency room floor as the ones he was wearing when he was attacked. The clothes were collected as evidence related to the stabbing. While cataloging and packaging the clothing, certain personal items were found, linking Alday as the owner of the clothing, along with a small plastic baggie containing a white crystallized substance that was found in the pants pocket and several rounds of ammunition. The substance field tested positive for methamphetamines with a total weight of 2.5 grams. Due to the severity of Alday’s injuries, a criminal complaint was forwarded to the State Attorney’s Office for a warrant, which was issued on February 9th, 2021.
On February 26th, 2021, a Deputy with the Uniform Patrol Division of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office conducted a probable cause traffic stop on Ford truck driven by Alday for the violation of improper use of off-road lighting. A check of the tag that was attached to the truck indicated that it was registered to and should have been displayed on a trailer. A local warrant check also revealed the warrant on Mr. Alday for possession of methamphetamines and possession of ammunition by a convicted felon. After being placed under arrest, he was transported to the Jackson County Correctional Facility. A more thorough search of his person at the jail revealed a small package of suspected methamphetamines, which field tested positive as such. Alday was held for first appearance.
