A Peachtree City woman was charged June 4 with possession of heroin and cocaine after striking a vehicle on Johnson Avenue in Fayetteville that was being driven by a sheriff’s deputy.
Alicia Ann Seal, 21, was turning on to Johnson Avenue when her vehicle struck another, said Fayetteville Police spokesperson Steve Crawshaw, adding that the driver of the struck vehicle was a Fayette County Sheriff’s deputy driving his private vehicle.
Fayetteville Police were called to the accident scene and were told by the sheriff’s employee that the woman had been acting suspiciously, said Crawshaw.
Crawshaw said officers spoke with Seal and obtained permission to search her vehicle. The search revealed four green and blue plastic bags in a compartment in the passenger’s door, empty bags and a bent spoon in the trunk, a syringe in the glove compartment and several other syringes in other locations in the vehicle, Crawshaw said, noting that the spoon was bent in a manner commonly used to prepare heroin.
Crawshaw said Seal admitted to officers that the brown substance in three of the bags was heroin but did not know the contents of the fourth bag containing a white substance.
Seal was charged possession of heroin and possession of cocaine.
