No Tag Light Lands Two In Jail On Drug Charges
September 14, 2012
A non-working tag light landed two people in the Escambia County Jail on drug charges.
An Escambia County deputy stopped a Toyota at the intersection of Well Line Road and Coulter Road in Cantonment for the tag light. Deputies reported that the driver, 49-year old Kirby Brian Smith of Molino, had prescription medications containing oxycodone and hydrocodone in his front pants pocket.
The passenger, 31-year old Nicole Danielle Jones of Pensacola, had a pack of cigarettes containing half of an oxycodone in her possession, according to an arrest report. In her pink purse inside the vehicle, deputies reported finding marijuana and medications containing oxycodone and hydrocodone. Also in the purse, deputies said they found a black digital scale.
Jones said the half oxycodone pill belonged to her mother, and she was holding it so her mother would not over-medicate. She claimed the scales were used for her son’s boy scouts. She told deputies that none of the other pills or the marijuana belonged to her.
Smith told deputies that he had a prescription for the pills in his pocket, but he did not have the prescription with him.
Smith was charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and given a warning for the defective tag light. Kirby was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $15,000 bond.
Jones was charged with marijuana possession, drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.She was released from jail on a $7,000 bond.

well there is the answer, she must be a den mom for her sons cub scouts.
Fhg,
Its the combination of it all. If you have wires in your trunk its not considered a bomb yet. If you have wires, a timer and a cellphone all wired together then it appears to be the beginnings of a bomb.
If she had just scales in her tunk its not a crime. She had hydrocodone and oxycodone pills not perscribed to her, marijuana and the digital scale. All of it together makes it appear as if she is dealing or distributing.
You have to critically think once in a while buddy! I know you have a brain in there!
Possession of a scale by itself is not a crime unless it has drug residue on it. A scale found with illegal drugs then gets presumed as drug paraphanalia. I have a digital scale in the kitchen for meat weighing and it does come handy sometimes for other (legal) tasks.
i don’t know these people or their situation, but if having scales is an offense I couild have been arrested many times. Many den moms and boy scout leaders have them. They are used to weigh those little cars. You must be so many grams and not over that many (mant remember exactly)
I was in Boy Scouts when I was young – I don’t remember needing scales ?
I was in scouts but do not ever remember needing a scale? seems odd to search a person for a routine trafic stop unless there is more going on here that we are unaware of?
The tag light was a ‘reason’ to stop them so they could find the drugs,
But your Honor, i cant afford such a high bond ! As you can see,, i have extensive repairs to do to my car !
Good one Ben ! hahaha
Better get that tag light fixed
The officers could have smelled the marijuana which would give them the probable cause to search that vehilce. Or they could have got verbal consent to search the vehicle. Mr. Smith has one of the worth driving records that anyone will ever see. Serioulsy its like 8 pages long.
Brian I have not seen you since I last dated your sister back in 1980. I cannot help but wonder what you are doing with schedule II narcotics and how a broken tail light could lead to a search of one’s person?
This is why I stopped trying to keep up with the Smiths and the Joneses.
