State of Florida v. Jerry Roberson
May 17, 2005OUTCOME: GUILTY as charged, sentenced to 20 years in prison
The Defendant was charged with Trafficking in Cocaine and Possession of Marijuana. Following a traffic stop and a subsequent K9 search by law enforcement, deputies found a black leather pouch with 289 ... grams of cocaine and over $5,000 in cash. The Defendant was arrested and search incident to arrest another $900.00 + was found in his pocket. A misdemeanor amount of marijuana was also found in the ashtray of the vehicle in which the Defendant was driving. Because there was a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the traffic stop, the State had to call several witnesses to circumstantially prove constructive possession. The State called a FHP Trooper that gave the Defendant a ticket 3 weeks prior to this traffic stop, in which the Defendant was driving the same vehicle. The State also offered into evidence all of the Defendant's personal mail, which was located in the vehicle's glove box. Lastly, the State called a PCSO jail deputy to testify that the passenger in the vehicle had just been released from the Pinellas County Jail within the last hour (leaving the inference that he would not be able to obtain 289 grams of cocaine that quickly). The Jury was out about an hour and one half and returned a Guilty verdict. The Defendant was sentenced immediately after the Trial and was given a 20 year DOC prison sentence (with a 7 year minimum/mandatory sentence) as well as a $100,000 statutory fine.
