CALLAWAY — Two Panama City men were charged with possession of synthetic drugs, according to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.
Roommates Michael Walraven and Edward Wilson were both charged with possession of synthetic narcotics with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia after deputies found what they described as 21 bags of synthetic drugs packaged for resale in a backpack in a car during a traffic stop Sunday.
A deputy noticed the car Walraven, 24, and Wilson, 23, were traveling in had an expired tag when it stopped at a gas station. Both men were behaving nervously, so a K-9 deputy sniffed the vehicle and alerted to an odor of narcotics, authorities reported.
