"I am proud of my detectives for their work in locating and removing drugs from our streets," said Sheriff Carmine Marceno. "We will ALWAYS target drug activity in Lee County and hold those who are involved accountable." Yesterday afternoon members of our Tactical Narcotics Team conducted a traffic stop after observing a vehicle failing to maintain its lane on North Tamiami Trail.During the traffic stop, Detective Ocasio asked the passenger, identified as Jacqueline Stacy, to step out of the vehicle so K9 Atlas could conduct a free-air sniff. As Stacy exited the vehicle, Detective Ocasio observed her attempt to conceal a small bag containing a white substance beneath her purse. The bag subsequently fell to the floorboard, revealing it was filled with cocaine.A subsequent search led to the discovery of additional cocaine and drug paraphernalia inside a shoebox in the trunk belonging to Stacy.In total, detectives seized more than 44 grams of cocaine.Jacqueline Stacy was arrested and charged with:▪️ Trafficking in Cocaine (28 grams or more)▪️ Possession of a Controlled Substance▪️ Possession of Drug Paraphernalia ...
