According to the release, probable cause was “developed to believe that additional drug activity was taking place” at the home and an emergency search warrant was obtained.
Police said they searched the home on the same day as the traffic stop and that the owner of the home, Jane Healy, was not arrested. Healy is the former editorial page editor and managing editor of the Orlando Sentinel and current co-chair of the Orange County Tourist Development Tax Citizen Advisory Task Force.
Detectives said during the search of the home, they located 25 grams of methamphetamine, 1 gram of cocaine, 14 grams of GHB, 200 grams of various pills, and live ammunition.
According to the release, two people at the home were also taken into custody – 38-year-old Deborah Rogers and 23-year-old Audriana Gardner.
Rogers faces charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell and possession of ammunition by a convicted felon. Gardner faces charges in connection with a Seminole County arrest warrant for failure to appear and trespass in a structure or conveyance.
Police said that it is an ongoing active investigation and more arrests are “potentially forthcoming.”
According to the release, the case has been submitted to the city prosecutor’s office to determine the viability of it proceeding under the criminal nuisance abatement ordinance where the board has the power to levy fines and request foreclosure.
