Destin attorney Whitehead jailed again
R. Scott Whitehead, a Destin attorney arrested twice in 2009 on suspicion of driving drunk, and jailed for 60 days in February for violating probation, is back in Okaloosa County’s custody.
Whitehead, who last Tuesday represented murder suspect Kyle Walling at a bond hearing, was arrested Friday, again on a violation of probation charge.
Deputies reported that Whitehead had entered the home of man who didn’t know him and inquired about a woman named “Becky” or “Barbara.”
When located across the street, at a home occupied by a woman named Becky, Whitehead appeared intoxicated, a deputy said in his report. While talking to the officer Whitehead urinated on himself, the report said.
The deputy contacted the lawyer’s probation officer, who confirmed that Whitehead was prohibited from drinking as a term of his probation, the report said. She obtained a warrant for Whitehead’s arrest, the report said.
