WASHINGTON COUNTY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - An Alabama man is in custody after a suspicious person call was reported, according to deputies.
On Sunday, Washington County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a person on the side of State Road 79.

Uptain was arrested and transported to Washington County Jail to await extradition to Bay County.
