Bradenton resident arrested by BBPD for narcotics

Bradenton Beach police arrested Bradenton resident Amy Endsley, 57, June 5 for alleged possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

BBPD Officer Kyle Orms was on patrol at the Coquina South Boat Ramp when he noticed a vehicle parked at an awkward angle.

Orms then observed that an occupant, a woman later identified as Endsley, appeared to be passed out in the passenger seat.

According to the police report, the officer looked through the vehicle window and saw a glass pipe near Endsley’s feet.

Orms also reported finding a plastic bag containing what field-tested positive for methamphetamine.

Endsley was arrested and eventually transported to the Manatee County jail, where she was booked for possession of methamphetamine.

If convicted of the third-degree felony, she faces up to five years in prison, five years of probation and a $5,000 fine.

Endsley also is charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, a first-degree misdemeanor.

Her arraignment is set for Friday, July 1, at the Manatee County Judicial Center in Bradenton.
