According to the OCSO, Nathaniel Parker, 43, of Crestview, was found with 30 pills of fentanyl, marijuana, a gram of cocaine, a digital scale, and plastic baggies.

The OCSO said a deputy conducted a routine traffic stop of Mr Parker’s vehicle near Savage Street in Crestview last weekend. Parker reportedly attempted to flee, but deputies quickly caught him.

During the stop, deputies said they noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from Mr Parker’s vehicle. A subsequent search reportedly uncovered fentanyl, marijuana, cocaine, and drug paraphernalia.
