On Monday, February 10, 2020 members of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of the Cottondale Police Department and the Sneads Police Department executed a search warrant in the Kynesville Community of Jackson County. The search warrant came as a result of numerous citizen complaints and a long-term drug investigation.
The search warrant was conducted at a residence on Kynesville Road near the Sunny Oaks Trailer Park. During the search warrant, Investigators located nearly a half of a pound of Crystal Methamphetamine, quantities of Xanax, quantities of Marijuana, and quantities of Synthetic Marijuana (K2) all individually packaged for sales. A multitude of drug paraphernalia, a large quantity of US Currency and a firearm were also seized as a result of the search warrant. The primary target of the investigation, Tony Mitchell Routt, has been suspected of trafficking Methamphetamine and other illicit narcotics in/out of the Bay County area into the Jackson County community for an extended period of time. Intelligence was shared between Bay and Jackson Counties in a collaborative effort to bring this drug dealer to justice. Four additional subjects were arrested during the execution of the search warrant. The investigation is ongoing in an attempt to dismantle this Drug Trafficking Organization. Additional arrests are forthcoming.
Sheriff Roberts would like to extend his most sincere gratitude to Chief William Watford and the Cottondale Police Department, Chief Mike Miller and the Sneads Police Department, and Sheriff Tommy Ford and the Bay County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in this investigation and their continued commitment to the war on drugs.
Sheriff Roberts and his staff are committed to the fight against drugs that plague our community, and would like to encourage anyone with any information about those who traffick, manufacture, abuse, use, sell, and/or deliver any illegal narcotics to contact the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office at 850-482-9624 or Chipola Crime Stoppers at 850-526-5000 or toll free at 888-804-8494.
