At approximately 12 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 3, a Perry police officer, patrolling an area on Courtney Road, in Perry, Fla., observed a vehicle parked in an empty lot often used by commercial vehicles.
“In the past few weeks, there had been a series of burglaries on the vehicles that park there, so I began driving up behind the vehicle. As I got close, the vehicle pulled out of the parking lot and began traveling south on Courtney Road, with both their headlights and tail lights turned off. So I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle and they pulled over on Julia Street,” the officer reported.
“When I approached the vehicle, they did not immediately roll down the window. After a few seconds, the driver rolled the window down and a wave of smoke and the smell of marijuana poured out,” the officer reported.
The driver, identified as Felicity Nicole Emory, 20, of Pinetta, told the officer she and her passenger had been “smoking and they had a little bit of marijuana in the vehicle.”
During a search of the vehicle, approximately 25 grams of a green leafy substance was located in the vehicle's center console. Officers also found a grinder, pipe and blunt wraps.
Emory told officers the drugs and paraphernalia “all belonged to her.”
She was taken into custody and booked at the Taylor County Jail on a charge of possession of more than 25 grams of marijuana.
