Kevin Foster Bey, 50, of North Cypress Street in Walnut Hill, was taken into custody Thursday at approximately 12:57 a.m. at a Race Way gas station on Airport Boulevard in Pensacola after his phone conversation led witnesses to call in a disturbance.
According to the report, Bey was found pumping gas into a white Dodge Ram with a trailer attached and told deputies he was yelling at his credit card company.

Following a routine check with dispatch that revealed Bey had an open warrant for a failure to appear in court, a search led deputies to the discovery of bag of marijuana, two “marijuana cigarettes” and  several “rock like substances,” which tested positive as cocaine.
