A Flomaton woman and a Pensacola man were arrested on drug charges following a traffic stop in Pensacola.

Alisha Janette Bradley, 45, was booked into the Escambia County Jail and charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of cocaine, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Bradley was the driver of a Ford Crown Victoria that was stopped by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office for an expired registration near the area of ​​Beverley Parkway and North W Street in Pensacola.

An ECSO sniffer dog was dispatched to the vehicle and officers discovered six plastic bags containing marijuana, a plastic bag containing synthetic cannabinoids (spice), a cigarette pack containing two “rocks” that tested positive for cocaine, and a pipe that also tested positive for cocaine, according to a police report.

A passenger in the vehicle, 68-year-old William Creed Lawson of Pensacola, was charged with possession of cocaine, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. A rock-like substance was found in his pants pocket that tested positive for cocaine, the report said.

Lawson told officers he was using cocaine and marijuana and explained that he had a plastic bag of marijuana in a backpack in the back seat, according to ECSO.

Lawson remained in the Escambia County Jail with bail set at $3,500. Bradley remained incarcerated with bail set at $6,000.
