Holmes County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) deputies responded on December 3, to a trespass complaint on Weeks Street. After speaking with the complainants, a deputy went to make contact with the suspect, identified as Robin Pippin, at his residence.
Upon arrival, the deputy observed Pippin in the backyard. As the deputy approached, Pippin fled into a wooded area nearby.
A Bonifay Police Department officer assisting in the search located Pippin and observed him discard an item.
Pippin was detained, and the discarded item—a sunglasses case—was recovered. The case contained a meth pipe, a baggie of methamphetamine, and marijuana.
Pippin was placed under arrest and charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, tampering with evidence, possession of marijuana, and resisting arrest without violence.
