18-year-old Madisann Ruth Best was in one of two vehicles at an abandoned Port Royal Road business around 11 p.m. on May 19th. Officers observed this and approached both vehicles. During the interaction, officers obtained probable cause to search one of the vehicles. Officers then spoke with Best, who owned the other vehicle, a blue Chevy Silverado. As Best spoke with officers, she consented to them searching her vehicle. During their search, officers discovered a series of “roaches” in the ashtray and a brown backpack containing 4.5 grams of Magic Mushrooms. Officers also found a folded $1 bill with a white powdery substance in the center console, which tested positive for MDMA. Best then told officers the substance was “Molly.” In addition to this, officers found 16 packs of White Grape Cigarillos. Best was taken into custody for unlawful drug paraphernalia, being a minor in possession of tobacco products, and simple possession of Schedule I drugs on May 20th.
