A Port Charlotte woman was arrested on drug trafficking charges, including fentanyl and methamphetamine.
Charlotte County deputies say on Tuesday around 5:30 p.m., members of the Narcotics Unit saw Kristina Seybold, 28, enter the Dollar General on Tamiami Trail in Port Charlotte.
The Narcotics Unit reportedly had outstanding felony charges on Seybold from a prior undercover purchase of fentanyl.
When Sybold exited the Dollar General, deputies say she was placed under arrest.
Deputies searched Seybold and they say they found the following controlled substances:
- 32.2 grams of fentanyl
- 54.7 grams of methamphetamine
- Suboxone strips
- Hydromorphone Hydrochloride pills
- Clonazepam pills
Seybold reportedly also had numerous items of drug paraphernalia, as well as a large amount of cash.
“Some people just refuse to learn a lesson, and this individual is one of those people. When you continue to push poison on my streets, disrupting the quality of life for the good people of this community, you will face the consequences. So again, I offer a choice to anyone who is dealing in Charlotte County: Leave now – or I will have a cell ready for you at the Charlotte County Jail as well," Sheriff Bill Prummell said.
Seybold was already out on bond for other two cases, one of which was reportedly another undercover purchase of trafficking amounts of fentanyl.
Deputies say Seybold was taken to the Charlotte County Jail. Reports say she is charged with trafficking fentanyl, trafficking methamphetamine, three counts of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
