Christina McClellan
Picking berries on airport property is far from the usual evening hobby, and that fabricated storyline is what led an officer to question his odd confrontation at the Immokalee Regional Airport on Sunday, according to police reports.
As a Collier County Sheriff’s Office Deputy piloted his way around the Immokalee airport to conduct a standard security check of the premises, he spotted three men and a woman hovered around a red sedan on what is privately owned territory, according to reports.
Their claim to being there: They wanted to pick Palmetto Berries, which preserves an extract that was traditionally used for alternative herbal medicinal purposes.
Ironically, Heroin was discovered to be the chief therapeutic agent in high demand, according to the officer’s findings.
Christina McClellan, 36, who was declared homeless, was subjected to a more intensive search after the officer found a syringe and a metal spoon tucked away in the rear pocket of the vehicle’s passenger side seat. Upon searching the men individually, unable to locate any more traces of drugs or paraphernalia on them, the officer proceeded further into the investigation.
The identifier: A gray purse that withheld a pink and black zipper bag inside of it, reports said.
Within the cloth handbag was four syringes, a black plastic spoon, cotton balls, and caps that belonged to the syringes, which led the search right back to McClellan. While searching the lone woman, a plastic baggie was uncovered in her pocket, and McClellan then claimed ownership to the purse that stocked the illegal possessions, according to reports.
The culprit was handcuffed and placed under arrest for possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, and lab tests conclusively turned out to be positive for Heroin, Collier County Sheriff’s Office records indicated.
