According to an arrest report, Deputy Lakiesha Lewis responded to a juvenile complaint and on scene encountered a boy crying but unable to speak because of emotional distress.

Woman shared marijuana with minor
Samantha Dawn Dover, 24, of Starke was arrested by Bradford deputies on March 21 for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Bradford Sheriff’s detective Andrew Johnson wrote in an arrest report that after seeing an unbuckled passenger in a white Ford SUV, he pulled behind the vehicle and noticed suspicious activity.
“While directly behind the Ford SUV,” Johnson wrote in an arrest report, “I observed the front passenger put an object in her mouth, remove the object, then hand the object to the rear passenger. As the front passenger handed the rear passenger the object, a large amount of smoke came from the front passenger’s mouth.”
Johnson added that the rear passenger repeated the front passenger’s behavior. “It was at this time I noticed a pungent odor of marijuana enter the A/C vents of my vehicle,” the detective wrote.
During a subsequent traffic stop, Johnson verified that the rear passenger was under 18 and that the defendant knew the age of the minor.
After the Ford pulled over into the Starke Winn Dixie parking lot, Dover told the lawman his timing could not have been worse. “I’m on my way to probation,” Dover said according to Johnson. “Am I under arrest?”
