Woman to cops: Cocaine ‘must have flown through the window and into my purse’

FORT PIERCE — A woman found with cocaine in her handbag told police she didn’t know how the drugs got there, saying it was windy and the cocaine “must have flown through the window and into my purse," a police report states.

The apparent case of the flying cocaine began about 10:18 p.m. on March 21 in Fort Pierce.

Fort Pierce police stopped a two-door Toyota on North 19th Street after reporting the vehicle swerved in the road and didn’t stay in its lane.

The driver opened his door, and police smelled marijuana coming from inside.

Kennecia Posey, 26, of Port St. Lucie, was identified as the front passenger.

Police reported finding cocaine in a small bag and marijuana in small bags in Posey’s purse.

Posey said the pot was hers for “personal use.”

She was at a loss to explain the cocaine.

"I don`t know anything about any cocaine,” Posey is quoted as saying. “It`s a windy day, it must have flown through the window and into my purse."
