Alyssa Barr, 25, of Starke, was sentenced to two years’ probation with drug offender conditions after she pleaded to petit theft, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and possession of drug equipment.
According to an arrest report, a Starke Wawa employee reported an alleged theft of potato chips from the store, and Deputy T. Lovell reviewed store video of the incident with a manager.
“The camera footage showed the female later identified as Alyssa Barr taking chips and exiting the business without paying,” wrote the officer.
Another deputy located Barr, along with a male companion at the 301 Plaza. A third officer located a rock-like substance on the defendant.
“The substance was field tested and yielded a presumptive positive for cocaine,” reported Lovell. “Alyssa was also in possession of a glass pipe with a white residue. Through my training and experience, the glass pipe is commonly used for ingesting illegal narcotics.”
