OKALOOSA ISLAND — A man who reported being tossed out of a club got tossed in jail after approaching an off-duty Okaloosa County sheriff’s deputy. The deputy was in full uniform at the time of the Sept. 5 incident, according to an arrest report from the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office.
At around 20 minutes after midnight, Justin Dwayne McDonald, 21, told the deputy he had just been thrown out of The Swamp by a man who claimed McDonald had touched his wife’s buttocks.
The deputy spoke to The Swamp security and learned McDonald was questioned about touching a woman’s buttocks. When McDonald became uncooperative with security, he was escorted out of the night club. The Swamp employees said it was their second incident with McDonald.
The deputy ran a check on McDonald and learned that he had two active warrants for his arrest, one from California and another from Arizona.
“Both warrants were drug related,” the report said.
Arizona authorities requested McDonald, currently a student at Chandler Gilbert Community College in Georgia, be taken into custody so that he could be extradited to the state.
McDonald was searched during his arrest. The deputy found a bottle containing 112 Oxycontin (a controlled substance) tablets and a pack of cigarettes with one tablet. A portion of the tablet in the package had been partially shaved off.
McDonald told the deputy the prescription belonged to his father-in-law.
The deputy notified the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona that McDonald now faces charges in Okaloosa County. He was charged with one county of felony possession of a controlled substance without a prescription
