An Oakland Hills woman was arrested after pills were found in her lunchbox.
Dezaree Elena Suarez, 32, who lives in the development on County Road 109 off U.S. Hwy. 27/441 in Lady Lake, was driving a silver Volkswagen Jetta at about 9 p.m. Saturday at Oakland Hills when a Sumter County sheriff’s deputy noticed her vehicle only had one operational taillight. A K-9 unit was summoned to the scene of the traffic stop and the dog alerted on the vehicle, indicating the likely presence of drugs.
Three different pill bottles in a clear bag were found in Suarez’s lunchbox, according to the arrest report. A Naproxen pill bottle contained 11 Alprazolam pills. She had no proof of a prescription for the pills.
Suarez was arrested on a charge of possession of a controlled substance. She was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center. She was released after posting $2,000 bond.
