Shortly after, at approximately 10:20 p.m., deputies stopped another vehicle on S.R. 77 near Houston Road. 

A search led to deputies locating several bags of methamphetamine in the driver’s wallet and a glass pipe, which was concealed in his pants.  The driver was identified as Mark Sisson, 46, of Cottondale FL.

Once deputies searched Sisson’s vehicle, additional methamphetamine was located in a container in the car.
