Tip: If You Are Going To Traffic Drugs, Don’t Use A Bag Labeled ‘Bag Full Of Drugs’
February 4, 2020
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office is offering a little tip for anyone trafficking illegal drugs….don’t keep them in a bag labeled “Bag Full of Drugs”.
The SRSO recently assisted the Florida Highway Patrol with a traffic stop on I-10 in which a large amount of narcotics were discovered.
“Note to self- do not traffic your illegal narcotics in bags labeled ‘Bag Full Of Drugs’. Our K-9’s can read,” the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office posted Monday night on social media.
On February 1, FHP Trooper Marlon Boggan stopped a Kia clocked at 95 mph. The vehicle occupants were identified as driver Ian Christian Simmons and passenger Joshua Michael Reinhardt, both age 34 and both from Orlando.
The SRSO assisted in the search of the vehicle, with K-9 Prince alerting to contraband in the Kia. A search of the vehicle found approximately 75 grams of methamphetamine, 1.36 kilograms of GHB, one gram of cocaine, 3.6 grams of fentanyl, 15 MDMA tablets and drug paraphernalia.
Simmons and Reinhart were both booked into the Santa Rosa County Jail on multiple felony drug charges.

Looks like Darwinism is alive and kicking.
MDMA is aka ecstasy.
kia has come a long way in the past 10 years. my kia sorento 2017 4 cylinder will cruise at 95 and be runnin smooth’. try one, you will like it.
Kane, what Karl has stated is plausible considering “packs” of insurance scammers have been known to bunch up around a tractor trailer in order to force it into hitting one of their own. They figure trucking companies have bottomless pockets. It’s perfectly logical to think big time drug dealers would be willing to sacrifice their own to divert attention while bigger cargo moves through. In this case, that could be drugs mixed with human trafficking. I doubt there is anything “normal” people could conjure up that would be too far removed from reality when it comes to what criminals will do to turn a buck. In this case, these two goobers might just be on their own, though. Unless their bosses have a great sense of humor and sent them out on their mission with those clearly labeled bags.
Wow Karl you sure do know a lot about drug trafficking! Care to post sources for your “facts” or shall I assume you are just pulling them out your you know what? This is how “fake news” gets started by people spouting off in a comments section and no one questions whether the poster is actually stating actual provable facts or is just stating what they “feel” are “facts”.
At least they were being honest about it
Dear Molino mom- normally drug runners of this type do travel in packs and highway patrol is trained to spot certain makes/models/plates…. this being known to drug runners, often times rabbits are used. The rabbit is the low level guy in the car with nothing or very little contraband. He takes the heat while the vehicles carrying the millions upon millions worth of drugs/cash/weapons moves through untouched. They don’t always speed on purpose but sometimes when there’s a large caravan behind him (with contraband spread out of course so that no one traffic stop will truly hurt the cause) sometimes they do to flush out LEOs and take one for the team. It’s literally part of the game. These two guys’ bosses obviously made very big while these guys got caught. But there were definitely more vehicles. With way more goods onboard.
@JustSayin – Depends on the Kia. The Kia Stinger GT has 365 HP, does 0-60 under 5 seconds, and has a top speed of 167. These aren’t your grandparents Kia’s any longer.
But as @MolinoMom pointed out these brain surgeons should have stuck to the speed limit if they are hauling that much contraband lol
“Our K-9’s can read” – Hilarious!
Here’s another pointer boys – if ya got a bunch of drugs in yer car, ya might want to drive the speed limit so as to not alert the cops to ya. That’s some smart boys right there.
And someone please tell me what is MDMA?
Fentanyl killed a co-worker friend of mine, that’s some BAD stuff. He died almost instantly and was still on his knees leaning over the table when his fiance found him – he was in his twenties. So very sad.
Hope these 2 get some serious time to keep them from spreading that poison.
Had no idea Kia would do 95
