Several reports reached the sheriff’s office after the truck burst into flames. Deputies from the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the scene and took the man into custody.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a loud explosion on Mare Creek Road. Sheriff’s deputies quickly arrived at the scene and saw a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado engulfed in flames. At the same time, they identified the owner of the vehicle at the scene.

Sheriff’s deputies spoke with Kevin Murphy, 28, who owns the vehicle. Murphy immediately admitted that he had started the fire. Sheriff’s deputies took him into custody and began searching him. A glass tube used for methamphetamine was found in Murphy’s pocket. They also found a dollar bill with traces of methamphetamine in his wallet.
