HOLMES COUNTY – Three Holmes County residents are charged with methamphetamine possession following separate traffic stops conducted by deputies with the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office over the weekend.

Around 10:30 p.m. Friday, November 8, a deputy initiated a traffic stop in the area of Highway 177 and Adolph Whitaker Road on a vehicle driven by 49-year-old Michael W. Bossert of Bonifay.

During the course of the interaction with Bossert, a container holding a white crystal-like substance was discovered to be in the vehicle.

Bossert was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine.

On Sunday, November 10, a deputy conducted a traffic stop around 1:30 a.m. near the intersection of Highway 90 and Highway 179-A in Westville and made contact with the vehicle’s driver, 22-year-old Sharon R. Mclean of Ponce de Leon.

A records check through dispatch revealed Mclean to be driving on an expired driver’s license. During the course of the interaction, Mclean was found to have a baggie in her coat pocket that contained a glass pipe and a substance she later confirmed to be methamphetamine.
