GULF COUNTY DRUG BUST

The Gulf County Sheriff’s Office says a late-night traffic stop ended with deputies seizing more than a million dollars in cash and narcotics. Gulf County Sheriff Mike Harrison said after deputies stopped 29-year-old Cinque Sims, of Callaway for a traffic violation, he jumped from the van he was driving and fled on foot. He was quickly apprehended and deputies found almost a half million dollars in U.S. currency, more than 34,000 oxycodone pills as well as cocaine, heroin and marijuana, a loaded 9mm pistol, and a large amount of ammunition. Sheriff Harrison said it was the largest drug bust in Gulf County history. Sims was  booked into the Gulf County Detention Facility where he is being held on a $374,000 bond.
