BAKER — After a Feb. 22 traffic stop, an Alabama resident faces charges of firearm possession by a convicted felon, methamphetamine possession, operating a vehicle with a suspended driver's license, and attaching a tag not assigned.

According to an Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office media release, a deputy saw Joshua Adam Greene, 30, of Wing, Ala., spinning around in the grass to head the opposite direction on Old River Road near Baker.

The media release stated Greene was driving with "a suspended license, had a tag attached to his truck that belonged to another vehicle, had methamphetamine in the car, and also had a loaded handgun tucked between the center console and driver’s seat."

According to the OSCO release, the defendant’s most recent license suspension was for non-payment of child support.
