Century Woman Back In Jail In Grand Theft Auto, Drug Case

December 9, 2011

A Century woman serving 24 months probation after she was caught driving a stolen car with illegal drugs in her possession is back behind bars.

Iretha Mae Smith, age 58 of Ivey Street, was booked into the Escambia County Jail Thursday for violation of probation on charges of grand theft auto and felony possession of a controlled substance. She was given probation and adjudication was withheld after she pleaded no contest to the charges in May.

In early February, an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy watched as a white Mazda Protege failed to stop at a stop sign located at  Sellers Road and West Highway 4. He conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and found that it had previously been reported stolen and that the driver, Smith, had an outstanding grand theft auto warrant.

When the deputy asked Smith to step out of the vehicle, she reportedly got out with a white pill in her hand. The pill, according to the Sheriff’s Office, turned out to be a Lortab for which Smith did not have a prescription.
