A Florida woman was arrested after she was found carrying drugs in a tote bag with “Definitely Not a Bag Full of Drugs” printed on it. Teryn Acri, a repeat offender, was charged with trafficking in meth, possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell, and possession of drug paraphernalia, New York Post reported.

The incident came to light after Brevard County Sheriff’s Office wrote about it on its Facebook page. According to them, the 31-year-old's troubles began after the car she was travelling in was pulled over near a traffic stop by a deputy last week.

Deputy Lexi Gordon insisted on searching the vehicle after his K9 unit dog, Aurora, detected something amiss in some of Acri's bags inside the vehicle. The sheriff's office said that the driver allowed it insisting that “nothing illegal should be inside”. But it turned out that the bags were loaded with illegal contraband.

“Well unfortunately for him, this is the part you just can’t make up, as Acri had had a few bags with her and one of them had the words 'Definitely Not A Bag Full Of Drugs' printed on it!!” the sheriff’s office wrote on Facebook. “The bag was filled with snacks…nah just kidding it was actually drugs, that’s right, she actually had a bag with drugs in it that said on the side 'Definitely Not A Bag Full Of Drugs'!!”

“Methamphetamine, needles, Narcan, digital scales, small baggies, cut straws and other items associated with drugs” were found in the bag, they added.

On January 6, Acri was arrested on almost identical charges but was released two days later after meeting her $15,500 (about Rs 13 lakh) bond, the sheriff’s office stated.
