Foxworth was transported to the Washington County Jail where he was booked on the active warrant.

During the investigation, the deputy conducted a search of a second passenger, identified as 23-year-old Jay Holden Fowler, of Graceville, who was found to be in possession of marijuana, a marijuana pipe, and a clear crystal substance known as methamphetamine (ICE).

Fowler was placed under arrest and transported to the Washington County Jail where he was booked on the charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana less than 20 grams, and possession of paraphernalia.
