A 49-year-old Starke woman was sentenced to 13 months in prison after pleading to drug and driver’s license charges.
Shandah Michelle Crawford pleaded to possessing a controlled substance without a prescription, using or possessing drug paraphernalia, and driving with a suspended or revoked license.
According to an arrest report, two Bradford Sheriff’s Office detectives saw Crawford’s vehicle leave a residence known to be frequented by drug users in the Sampson City area. They conducted a traffic stop after noting that the driver of the car was not wearing a seat belt. Crawford consented to a search of the vehicle, and the pair found a bottle containing an orange pill cut into four pieces. The pill segments tested positive for suboxone.
Detective Michael Garmon wrote in the report that Crawford’s driver’s license had been suspended and that she had been found guilty of driving with a suspended or revoked license six previous times.
The defendant also has previous convictions of possession of cocaine, giving a false ID to a law enforcement officer and additional drug convictions.
