OKALOOSA COUNTY:A Crestview man who faced a half dozen charges after fleeing an attempted traffic

stop had two more felonies added after deputies served a search warrant on his

residence: trafficking in fentanyl and trafficking in methamphetamine.

An Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office deputy tried to make a traffic stop September

19th on a vehicle with an expired tag near Olene's Lane and Old River Road in Baker,

but instead the driver ignored the lights and siren and went to a home on Olene's Lane.

Talbot then jumped out of the car carrying a small bag. He ran inside and refused to

exit.

In the vehicle deputies found a firearm, used syringe, and silver capsule with

narcotics residue.

Talbot eventually came out and was taken into custody. Deputies had obtained a

search warrant and found a small bag with ten grams suspected fentanyl and two

plastic bags containing methamphetamine hidden behind a refrigerator.

Charges against Talbot include trafficking in fentanyl, trafficking in

methamphetamine, fleeing and eluding with lights and siren activated, possession of a

weapon by a convicted felon, resisting an officer, and violation of probation on an

original charge of grand theft .
