A man was driving in the Keys with his family. Then, police found ‘New Year’s drugs’ in car
An Islamorada man said the hallucinogens found in his car when he was arrested were leftovers from a New Year’s party, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
Joshua Moon, 37, was arrested on Plantation Key on Tuesday. He was charged with driving with a suspended license, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of hallucinogens, and possession of drug equipment, according to the arrest report.
“He claimed ownership of all the items found and stated they were only for recreational narcotic use,” the police report stated.
His girlfriend, Inkede Hall, 25, and daughter, 13, were released.
Moon was initially pulled over because of the suspended license, according to the report.
When asked by a deputy about the car smelling like marijuana, Moon said he smoked with a friend before being stopped. Moon is not a medical marijuana card holder.
The drug equipment in his car included a bowl pipe, two wood sticks, a toothpick and a lighter, according to the arrest report.
He received a Florida Trade Commission suspension in April for not paying a traffic fine, and two guilty dispositions in 2002 and 2018 for driving with a suspended license.
He was released from the Monroe County Jail Wednesday on a $16,000 bond.
