Florida man accused of having cocaine texted homeowner about baggie on nightstand while being trespassed HCSO

In a bizarre turn of events, Christopher Newton, a Florida man, found himself arrested for drug possession after he texted the homeowner about a baggie of cocaine he had left behind while being trespassed from the residence. The Holmes County Sheriff’s Office received a call for service to remove Newton, and while deputies were on the scene, he sent a message informing the homeowner about the baggie on the nightstand. Acting on this information, deputies obtained consent to search the area where Newton had been staying and discovered a plastic bag containing a substance that tested positive for cocaine. Newton's decision to contact the homeowner about the drugs ultimately led to his arrest, highlighting a significant lapse in judgment. The Sheriff’s Office humorously remarked, "If you’re going to leave something behind, maybe don’t text about it!

" This incident underscores the serious implications of drug possession and the need for individuals to be aware of their actions. Newton's arrest not only raises questions about his behavior but also serves as a cautionary tale for others. The case reflects broader issues surrounding drug use and law enforcement in local communities.
