DATELINE - Washington County FL

Florida Man Matthew Lunsford appeared to be slumped over the wheel of his car near a fairly busy intersection.

So bystanders did what you might expect - they called 911 to report a possible serious medical issue.

When the cops got there, they found Lunsford behind the wheel playing on his phone and did not need medical attention.

The problem for Lunsford was the illegal items that were plainly visible inside his vehicle - namely, drugs and drug paraphernalia, including methamphetamine.

So Lunsford basically went from behind the wheel to behind bars.
