PANAMA CITY BEACH -- A Panama City man was smoking a joint Tuesday morning and carrying more than 5 pounds of pot and a pound of “magic mushrooms” when he was arrested, according to Panama City Beach Police.
Police charged Adam Hilty, 23, with possession of cannabis with the intent to distribute, possession of psilocybin — the active ingredient in the mushrooms that causes the user to hallucinate — and possession of hydrocodone.
Around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday police got a tip describing a man suspected of holding a large amount of drugs. Police spotted the suspect almost immediately driving on South Wells Street and stopped the car.
Hilty was holding a lit joint, and a drug-sniffing dog alerted on the car, where police found 160 grams of cannabis, 35 grams of psilocybin and three hydrocondone pills, police said. Police took Hilty to jail, but they continue to investigate.
