A man is in jail for multiple drug charges and outstanding warrants after sheriff's deputies found him getting out of his car in the Rosewood Wal-Mart parking lot Monday, according to a press release.
Deputies learned 41-year-old James Earl Davis, of 868 Riverbend Road, had outstanding warrants for his arrest and was spotted in the Rosewood area.
Maj. Tom Effler said he did not know if the information came from a concerned citizen or through a Crime Stoppers tip that enabled deputies to find Davis.
