Four people were arrested and booked into the Charlotte jail on several marijuana charges Wednesday night through purchases arranged through the myspace.com Web site, it reported.
One of the arrests came after a chase where suspects threw the marijuana from their vehicle, the police department reports.
Detectives arranged the purchase through mySpace.com posing undercover as drug buyers.
At 8:55 p.m., Detectives Tom Lewis, Tray Federici, Harvey Ayers and Officer Katie Mendel met a suspect in a white 1992 Toyota at the rear of the Sweetbay Supermarket in Punta Gorda.
As undercover vehicles with emergency lights on drove up, the driver, later identified as 17-year-old Kirsten M. Jones of 1220 Sandy St., Port Charlotte, accelerated and collided with an unmarked police car.
Jones then sped south through the parking lot and police chased the car north on U.S. 41 through Burnt Store Road intersection.
After tossing drugs from the vehicle, Jones slid into the median in the area of Monaco Drive in front of Burnt Store Isles.
Detectives descended upon the car and physically removed Jones and subdued her. Police removed two other suspects. Douglas Neal “Hell Dog” Hellman, 20, of McDougal Ave., Port Charlotte, and Andrew Christopher Jones, 23, 1999 Kings Highway, 23B, Port Charlotte were both taken into custody. The three were booked into the Charlotte County Jail without charge.
When detectives searched the car, they found a backpack with a scale, Ziploc baggies and marijuana residue in the front passenger floorboard of the vehicle.
The suspects admitted to throwing the marijuana out of the vehicle and detectives subsequently seized about 81 grams.
Kirsten M. Jones was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, aggravated battery a law enforcement officer, aggravated fleeing to elude a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest without violence. Hellman was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of more than 20 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia. Andrew C. Williams was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
In a separate incident, detectives went to the Shell Gas Station in Punta Gorda at approximately 11:17 p.m. as Ricky Joe Kreager, 36, of 22186 Belinda Ave. Port Charlotte, agreed to sell undercover a half-pound of marijuana for $600.
Kreager arrived at the Shell Station in a red Ford Expedition and Kreager was immediately taken into custody by Detectives. Kreager’s wife was also present in the passenger seat of the vehicle.
Detectives discovered approximately 265 grams of marijuana on the back seat of the Expedition in a camouflage backpack. Detectives then took Kreager to his home where they seized another 818 grams – about two pounds -- of marijuana from his freezer.
Kreager was booked into the County Jail without bond on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
