Woman’s tote said ‘Definitely Not a Bag Full of Drugs.’ Not true, Florida cops say

A woman out on bond for drug trafficking was rearrested days later after deputies found her carrying meth in a tote bag labeled: “Definitely Not a Bag Full of Drugs,” according to Florida investigators.

The discovery was made during a traffic stop in Brevard County, about 10 days after the woman was released from jail, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said in a Jan. 19 news release.

Deputy Lexi Gordon made the discover when her K9 partner took an interest in “a few bags” belonging to a passenger in the vehicle, officials said. The driver granted permission for a search, “stating nothing illegal should be inside,” the sheriff’s office said.

“Well unfortunately for (the driver), this is the part you just can’t make up, (his passenger) had a few bags with her and one of them had the words “Definitely Not a Bag Full of Drugs” printed on it! The bag was filled with ... drugs,” the sheriff’s office said.

“Deputy Gordon located methamphetamine, needles, Narcan, digital scales, small baggies, cut straws and other items associated with drugs.”

The 31-year-old woman was arrested and charged with felony possession of methamphetamine with intent to manufacture and deliver, felony amphetamine/methamphetamine trafficking, and misdemeanor possession/use of drug paraphernalia, jail records show.

Those are the same charges the woman faced when arrested 10 days earlier, records show.

Brevard County is about a 40-mile drive east from Orlando.
