A Bay County Sheriff’s deputy stopped two kids dressed in dark clothing walking along a road in Southport earlier this week. When the deputy asked one of the kids where they were going he said he was walking his friend home. When he asked the other boy where he lived the boy, “Stated he didn’t know,” the deputy wrote in an incident report. The juvenile also said he did not know his house address, street name or how long he had lived there. He did say the house was two streets over.

The deputy told the boys he would give them a ride to their home. Before the ride he asked them if they had any weapons. One of the boys lifted his shirt, produced a BB Gun and handed it to the deputy. The boy said he didn’t have any other weapons but the deputy patted him down and found a five inche knife in the kid’s pocket. The other kid had an eight inch knife in a holster.

The boys said they lived on Holland Road and the deputy drove them there but when he escorted them to the door they confessed that they had lied again and that they actually lived on Hubbard Road. The deputy then took them home and told their parents what had happened. The parents said they thought the boys were sleeping.

Although the deputy thought the boys were acting suspicious he could not prove they had committed a crime and returned them to the custody of their parents.
