Melissa Berg

A Villager’s daughter has been jailed without bond after violating her probation.

Melissa Berg, 41, who lives with her mother in the Village of Bonnybrook, was booked Thursday at the Sumter County Detention Center.

Berg has twice been arrested this year on drug charges.

Most recently she landed in trouble when she was found driving a vehicle with a stolen license plate at Wal-Mart at Buffalo Ridge Plaza in The Villages. At that time, she was arrested on charges of theft, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession of drug equipment.

Berg was arrested in February after she was caught with methamphetamine in her bra.
