Wildwood woman arrested with Oxycodone after running stop sign

Janet Driggers

A Wildwood woman was arrested with an Oxycodone pill after running a stop sign.

Janet Marie Driggers, 37, had been driving a green Saturn at 10:57 a.m. Wednesday at Lee Street and County Road 462 when she failed to stop at a stop sign, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department. “She seemed confused to where the stop sign was located,” the officer wrote in the arrest report.

She was issued a written warning for disobeying the stop sign. She consented to a search of her vehicle and a blue Oxycodone pill was found in a cup holder.

Driggers said the pill belonged to her, but she did not have a pill bottle with her prescription information.

She was arrested on a charge of drug possession and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center. She was released after posting $500 bond.

Driggers was arrested in 2016 after she and a man, both armed with tweezers, were involved in an altercation that left them both with lacerations. The charge against Driggers was later dismissed.
