Deputies say her Toyota Camry had expired tags and that Coral then alerted to drugs in the car.
Authorities say they then found the following in the Camry:
- 3.7 ounces of methamphetamine
- 1 gram of cocaine
- 8 grams of marijuana
- 2.5 Xanax pills
- A digital scale
- 2 glass pipes
- Plastic baggies often used to sell drugs
In addition to the trafficking charge, Gesell also faces charges of possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance (pills) without a prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Coral joined the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office this past fall, and it wasn’t long before she was racking up drug busts.
In January she also was credited with helping catch a suspected cocaine dealer.
