WALTON COUNTY, Fla — When walking along the shoreline, beachgoers tend to see a variety of things wash ashore, like seaweed, a message in a bottle, or seashells. However, for one beachgoer in the panhandle, they found something a little more...powdery.
According to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, one beachgoer found nearly half a million dollars of cocaine washed up on a beach. In a post on the social media platform X, the sheriff’s office says the 25 kilograms of cocaine had a picture of the Looney Tunes character Yosemite Sam.
