Holmes Beach police arrested Bradenton resident Sophia Mclean, 18, July 11 for two third-degree felony charges for possession of a cocaine, a controlled substance, and more than 20 grams of marijuana.
Mclean also was charged with a first-degree misdemeanor for possession of drug paraphernalia.
An officer responded to reports of people trespassing in someone’s hot tub and found a woman, later identified as Mclean, entering a vehicle.
The officer approached and smelled “a distinct odor of burnt and fresh cannabis emanating from the vehicle,” according to the HBPD report.
The officer spoke with the vehicle’s five passengers, who said they had been in the hot tub.
The officer asked about the marijuana odor and Mclean produced 70.2 grams of marijuana.
The officer handcuffed Mclean while another officer searched the vehicle and found a bong and a bag containing 7.8 grams of white powder in the door by Mclean.
Mclean told the officers the powder was cocaine and she had purchased it and the marijuana in Bradenton.
The officers field tested both substances and they returned positive results for marijuana and cocaine.
The officer transferred Mclean to a Manatee County Sheriff’s Office deputy, who transported her to the Manatee County jail.
Mclean was released July 12 on $3,500 bond.
If convicted, punishment for a third-degree felony charge includes up to five years in prison or probation and a fine of up to $5,000.
Punishment for a first-degree misdemeanor includes up to one year in jail and up to a $1,000 fine.
An arraignment will be at 9 a.m. Friday, July 29, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
