A son of Clay County Attorney Mark Scruby is scheduled to be in court Feb. 21 for his arraignment on drug charges.
Robert Edward Scruby, 19, was arrested just after noon Feb. 2 on Kingsley Avenue.
An Orange Park Police officer responded to a call of an intoxicated person walking down the street. Scruby “appeared intoxicated,” the officer wrote in his arrest report. The officer offered Scruby a ride and asked if he had any weapons on him. Scruby pulled a plastic box containing “small white pills” from his trousers, the report said.
The officer also found more white pills, some blue pills and some orange pills on Scruby. The pills were identified as the prescription pills Lortab, Ambien and Xanax.
Scruby is charged with possession of a controlled substance.
He was released on his own recognizance.
The charge is a third-degree felony, punishable by a $5,000 fine and/or five years in prison.
