Small Town Misfit

Panama City, FL
A woman traveling the wrong way on State 77 nearly ran over a Bay County Sheriff’s Office deputy.

The deputy had to take “evasive action” to avoid getting hit. After a pursuit that lasted about a mile and a half, the woman pulled over near Southport Elementary School.

As the deputy approached, she noted the distinct smell of alcohol emanating from the woman’s vehicle. The woman asked the deputy why she had pulled her over, and the deputy informed the woman that she been traveling south in the northbound lanes of State 77.

“Well, I’m not from around here,” the woman replied, according to police records. “I don’t know which way these roads go.”

The woman, who told deputies she lives in Chipley, was charged with driving under the influence and possession of alcohol by someone under 21.
