What's the latest on the spring breakers? Has it settled down or is it getting crazier? Has the rainy weather put a damper on people behaving badly?
Walton County Sheriff, Michael A. Adkinson, Jr.
School Resource Deputes Raid Hotel Room, find Cocaine, Marijuana, Paraphernalia and Underage Drinkers


Two School Resource Deputies who are assisting in spring break law enforcement efforts, responded to Scenic Gulf Inn and Suites at 39 Scenic Gulf Drive, at 2:41 PM for a noise complaint on the 4th floor. While on the 4th floor, Deputies John Pettis and Nathan Hicks smelled marijuana. They tracked the smell to a second floor room and knocked on the door. The occupants, who were spring break students from Georgia, opened the door and, after finding cocaine, marijuana, paraphernalia and underage drinkers, made three arrests. The three students are currently being booked at the Walton County Jail. The WCSO Vice/Narcotics Unit assisted in the case.

Tennessee Spring Breaker’s Father Arrested for Slashing Tires at Walton County Jail

He might not have been too happy with Walton County, but now the father of an arrested out of state individual has been arrested for damaging cars at the jail.

On Wednesday, March 12th, between the hours of 11 pm to 12 midnight, six vehicles at the Walton County Jail parking lot, located at 796 Triple G Road, Defuniak Springs, sustained damage totaling in the amount of $1,611.00. The damages ranged from sliced tires, a broken windshield and body damage. After reviewing video surveillance footage, Phillip D. Tidwell, 47, of 2148 Aztec Drive, Dyersburg, TN, was identified as the suspect.

Tidwell was observed retrieving what appeared to be a golf club from the trunk of his car, which was parked next to a marked patrol car. He was observed in the video swinging the golf club around the patrol car as well as the other cars parked in the area that were damaged. Tidwell is also seen retrieving an item from the driver side of his vehicle and squatting near the rear passenger tire of the marked patrol car. Five other vehicles also sustained the same type of damage. Four of the six vehicles belonged to correction officers.

Tidwell was arrested and booked at the Walton County Jail.

Tidwell’s justification for the crime committed was due to how long it was taking to get his family member out of jail.

Here's the really scary part, this guy is also a sheriff's deputy in his home town and ran for sheriff at one point.
