Blackmon, who reportedly billed himself as a drug dealer, told a deputy who answered the call that someone had gone into his car and fished $50 and a quarter ounce of cocaine from the center console.

The deputy reported finding powder and crack cocaine in the console as well a crack pipe on the floorboard, but said he did not locate the missing money.

Blackmon, who court records show has a history of arrests in Okaloosa County, was in custody Tuesday in lieu of $4,000 bail.
