A Crestview man pulled over for driving 75 miles an hour in a 55 mile an hour zone in Baker ended up with more than a traffic ticket. 37-year old Michael Anthony Chessher of Tilley Road is charged with driving with a suspended license (habitual offender) and trafficking in methamphetamine. An Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Deputy stopped Chessher Saturday after spotting him speeding down County Road Two.
Chessher told him his driver’s license was suspended for DUI. A check revealed numerous suspensions and that Chessher is also listed as a Habitual Traffic Offender until 2017.
Behind Chessher’s driver seat the deputy found a grocery bag containing coffee filters, lithium batteries and a Coke bottle with the label removed. Inside the bottle was a pink liquid and white powdery substance he recognized as a methamphetamine “one pot” cook. Chessher told the deputy he was in the beginning stages of producing the methamphetamine.
