According to a police report, Joshua John Knipp, 20, of Hampton, Florida was arrested for possession of marijuana September 20. The arrest stemmed from a young woman acquaintance of Knipp having a seizure after smoking marijuana provided by Knipp. Knipp was arrested and taken to the Levy County Jail Monday afternoon after confirming that he had supplied the woman with the drug and was found in possession.


The same afternoon, James Clark Statham, 51, of Cedar Key, was arrested on Dock Street, charged with hit-and-run. A Cedar Key Police arrest record states that Statham struck another vehicle while driving. The owner of the struck vehicle and three others witnessed the collision and saw Statham park nearby.
